either of these would be good -- you have a far better idea of what can
readily be implemented than i do. obviously, the wait is something to
which the user becomes accustomed after a time or two, in much the same
way that a double-clicker new to kde-1.x quickly learned that one click
was enough. but some kind of progress indicator gives the sense of a
smoothe, finished product in that imparts a sense of security in the
user. which is to say that if it can be implemented easily, it should
be, but if it will take somebody a week to do, it shouldn't!
