Reset Safari 8 in Yosemite to show Welcome/Splash screen again

Does anybody know how to reset Safari so the next time it opens it presents the welcome screen again as if it were launched for the first time in Yosemite?

Previously you just deleted its preference file but that no longer works, ive deleted all these files, and the entire Safari folder in ~/Library but it still just opens on the favourites page - is there a new hidden file or something somewhere?

So far tried deleting

rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
rm -Rf ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
rm -Rf ~/Library/PubSub/Database
rm -Rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
