yeah... while it's interesting at first to know why ksnapshot's taking so long
to load, it quickly becomes irritatiing, and it was probably only ever
interesting to me because I'm a geek ;)
it may well make sense to expose the taking-too-long jobs somewhere, but
notifications (at least the popup kind) aren't really the place. (heck, I'm
even irritated by kmail's 'o noes the internet is down' notifications :P )
