Interacting with the splash screen - particularly by clicking on a different window, then clicking back to the splash screen - often causes the entire WebApp to close before launching the main browser window. This issue showed up in the discussion of #357 but wasn't resolved.

Further, the splash screen acts as a normal browser window, and its contents can be dragged (i.e. dragging the splash image to your desktop, creating a .png copy), and can be resized, causing odd behavior.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Set a splash image in electron.manifest.json
  2. Interact (click, drag, etc) with it before the main window has loaded/rendered
