The playback startup was changed significantly--to be /much/ faster, 
because it's no longer hammering the database before startup--in 
unstable/development and the fix backported to 0.24-fixes.  This changed 
timing within the application.  And, AIUI, since the Please Wait screen 
has /always/ been a little finicky (appearing for some users and not for 
others), this just means that with the changes in timing, you've 
switched from the "appearing" group to the "not" group.
