A blinking outline around the icon it was launched from would be one option, and very easy to put in. Maybe a little animation in a corner (near the clock? There's an awful lot of space in that corner...) if the program was launched from a menu. I agree that changing the cursor is a bad idea. Even in the case of windows, very non-portable as it interferes with Applications' ideas of what they want for their _own_ cursor. Andy -- Andrew J.
