spash.dat or splash.pid preventing remounting root partition as read-only for fsck

Everything in the title.
I have spent a lot of time trying to find why my Xbian (1.0 alpha5) distribution wasn't able to fix a corrupted root partition.
I finally found, thanks to lsof, the guilty process and it was splash.
Apparently it's opening 2 file splash.dat and splash.pid on the root partition during boot thus preventing checkroot.sh script to remount the partition as read-only.

Will already be fixed in beta 1, any questions concerning the splash in xbian can be asked in https://github.com/mk01/Splash or the XBian issue tracker.
