Pre-testing Emacs 22

On the other hand, the new policy of requiring a keystroke to get past the "one component of the GNU/Linux operating system" screen is obnoxious - but this behavior can be disabled.

This is probably the #1 reason why my Emacs alternative still points to Emacs 21... so, how do I disable the nag screen?

Startup screen

From the NEWS file:

** Emacs now displays a splash screen by default even if command-line arguments were given. The new command-line option --no-splash disables the splash screen; see also the variable `inhibit-startup-message' (which is also aliased as `inhibit-splash-screen').

I have (setq inhibit-startup-message t) in my .emacs.
