Agree;  we do that in Consonance <http://code.google.com/p/consonance/>,
where the main of the interface is in a notebook.   When created the
notebook hides its tabs and displays the first page (a splash page, so
to speak).  When it gets the signal to go to Online mode it displays the
tabs and removes the first page.
