Me too, but my point is that you have to do that to begin with.

If anyone is interested, this gets rid of the splash screen + chrome:-

    (setq inhibit-splash-screen t)
    (if (fboundp 'scroll-bar-mode) (scroll-bar-mode -1))
    (if (fboundp 'tool-bar-mode) (tool-bar-mode -1))
    (if (fboundp 'menu-bar-mode) (menu-bar-mode -1))
