I agree in principle but is this hourglas cursor really a 'valuable
feature'? People still associate it with that 'while the cursor has the
shape of an hourglas I can't do anything else'. And that is bad.

We need immediate feedback when an application is launched. I agree. This
taskbar solution which came up earlier seems much better to me.
