true. i've noticed this especially *during* the use of koffice. start 
kword and the window pops up for selecting existing/new doc, kind of 
doc, etc. then it *poof!* disappears, and for a few seconds one wonders 
if kword has segfaulted. a status bar graph that says "loading kword," 
or a little pop-up, ala the "preparing to shutdown" window in kde-1.x, 
would reduce the grey hairs considerably.

btw -- in praise of kmail: movement of mail run status to the status 
bar is a really elegant solution, and i'm very glad to see it. good job!
