How to configure splash screen after plymouth
I have configured my splash screen for plymouth - and it works perfectly. I've also configured the display manager (I'm using gdm). In between these two I get a very brief splash screen - a kind of swirl of multi-coloured ubuntu like colours. Where does this splash screen get set, and how do I change it?
Edit:
Here is a video of my boot sequence, showing the screen in question:

I'm going out on a limb here.
If the problem that you're having with Plymouth has anything to do with proprietary ATI / Nvidia graphics drivers, try this script.
Also there are two Plymouth Managers that my help you
A GUI called Splashscreen Manager, and the other GUI is called Plymouth Manager
Note:Plymouth does not reliably work with nVidia drivers and during bootup a blank screen may result for several seconds.

Thanks Mitch. However I don't think the splash screen is actually coming from plymouth itself. Plymouth is working fine (although I have historically had problems with nVidia drivers, this is no longer a problem for me). The screen is shown immediately after plymouth finishes, but before gdm starts. Take a look at the video I've added to the question to see what I mean.
