Maybe taking a look at the messages displayed in the terminal
emulation where the app was launched ;).

Depending on what some apps need to establish, before the next app can
be launched, we sometimes need to add delay ...

roxterm --tab -n "♪ foo" -e "foo --option=bar" ; sleep 2

The app already might be running, just establishing some things might
take a while after the splash screen already disappeared. It e.g. might
take two seconds after loading _data_ (not the app) and the app likely
displays information by the terminal emulation output or by a log
message window.

The script/terminal emulation approach might be out of fashion,
anyway, an app still could display a splash screen, while the
important part of the app already segfaulted.
