Summary	0000163: Slicer3 hangs on startup when passed a mrml scene as an argument
Description	Slicer3 hangs on startup when passed a mrml scene as an argument: Slicer3-build/Slicer myScene.mrml The scene can be any scene, even <MRML></MRML>. Slicer hangs and the splash screen stays in front. It is necessary to kill the Slicer3 process.
Additional Information	The program hangs on this line: vtkKWSplashScreen::SetProgressMessage: this->GetApplication()->ProcessPendingEvents(); which is called here: Slicer.cxx: slicerApp->SplashMessage("Connected to scene.");
Tags	No tags attached.

The reported behavior doesn't occur on all platforms (doesn't happen on mac or windows). But on fedora 7 systems at SPL starting slicer with a scene on the command line can cause the whole machine to hang. There may be renders being triggered before the render window is fully configured?
