Makes sense.

If we want another approach by all means, maybe Wilco's idea can be extended 
a small step further:

Draw a small window with the title of the app being loaded in the title bar 
and a small text "Loading kmyapp..." message or so. Maybe we can even draw 
the app's icon next to the text.

But still, the animated cursor might be the best bet...
