/etc/X11/Xserver ends with the lines:
# start off server in conventional location.

#ARGS="$ARGS -dpi 285 -screen 480x640 -hide-cursor vt1"                    
                                                               
                                                                           
                                                               
DISPLAY=':0'

The '-root-ppm' is the static splash screen.  

Following that, Xsession starts enlightenment, passing it $E_PROFILE as
defined in /etc/enlightenment/default_profile.

NOW.  /usr/share/enlightenment/data/init contains one or more .edj files
that each define an animated splash init that appears next, and until
enlightenment finishes loading.  The .edj file used is determined by
$E_PROFILE.  So if default_profile contains E_PROFILE='-profile illume'
then enlightenment will try to start up with illume_init.edj for the splash
(the 'cylon' animated blip, or various other animations depending on image)
and will try to use /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/illume.edj as the
theme for illume.  If it's E_PROFILE='-profile fso' then it looks for
fso_init.edj splash and fso.edj theme, etc.
