Splash screens are typically only useful when a desktop app needs to pre-load lots of resources. On iPhone OS, you want to load things lazily.
I totally concur, but...

... my hand is being forced. I've tried to argue some HIGs sense into the client, to no avail. In the end, it's their money, their call, and their fault, if the app doesn't do well in the app store.

Correct.

That was one of the things I tried, but somehow it still doesn't work. Clearly, I've changed some property somewhere that's messing things up. I think I'll try a sample app built afresh and try again, since now I know that just nipping off a 20-pixel-long bar at the top should work.
Thanks for the help.
