How do you deduce that this is enough?  splash.xpm needs 217 pixels on
my system, and use-fancy-splash-screens-p reserves 19 more lines for
text, which on my system need 19 x 16 = 304 more pixels.  The sum is
greater than either 462 or 476, so it sounds to me like
use-fancy-splash-screens-p is right.  (On my system, the window is 528
pixel high, which is indeed greater than 217 + 304.)
