use klyx from KDE1, which starts up in half a second and continues to show
the splashscreen on top of the GUI for 5 seconds or so).

There's a difference between beeps and clicks. I think the click from IE when
hitting a link is quite nice and could be used in our case as well. The
problem with offices and audio-impaired people remains, but having the click
as an option would be nice (I would surely prefer that over the spinning
wheel).
