IMO replacing the splash for 0.45.1 is not necessary and may be confusing to some users, as it is not a truely a "new" version.
Also, traditionally, we have kept the same splash screen for an entire 0.x.y series (aside from perhaps updating the version number). Let's keep the 0.45[.0] splash screen.
Since the work has already been done it would seem a shame not to use the modified splash screen, but at the same time we wouldn't want to put too much pressure on artists to create splash screens for every release.
No, I recall we had a similar situation in one of the previous point releases, and made a fairly firm decision to always stay with the same screenshot for the point releases.
What we need to keep in mind is that for the 0.45.0 screenshots, many people put efforts competing to produce and select a good screenshot. It is most fair to keep it for the entire 0.45.x series.
Of course if the work was going to be used later perhaps for 0.46 and not go to waste then that would be better than changing just for a minor release.
Yes, although since 0.46 will be a ways off and will probably have new features needing to be demoed in the screenshot, this may not be an ideal solution.
How about including it on the screenshots page? We've had other similar submissions that were included there. The screenshots pages get a LOT of eyeballs, so it's quite a prime location for good artwork.
