Welcome screen isn't shown anymore

[lkintact]

Describe the bug

Hi, I'm not sure if it's a bug, but when I was using an older (2024.07.01 SDL1) version of DOSBox-X, every time I ran it a welcome screen was shown.
That doesn't happen with the newest (2025.02.01 SDL1) DOSBox-X version - a blank screen is shown instead.

I haven't checked but maybe this is due to PR #5403, which may need some refinement.
Since it helps usability and freezes of actual softwares rather than a bios screen, I feel we can allow such regression for the time being.
I currently have no idea for an ultimate solution, though.

With the newest version (2025.02.01), pressing F11+R cause a blank screen too. And F11+R again, DOSBox-X crashed.

The PR I mentioned above was not the cause, but PR #5478 should fix it as far as I tested.
Please try the nightly build after it is built.

@maron2000, thank you, just tried this build, and the issue is gone for me. What @1abcd has reported is gone too.
