Then the program itself needs to indicate that the program is loading.
This should be no problem, and maybe this could be realized by changing
the KApplication class. As I metioned in a post earlier, the same
mechanism could be used to create a hook which is called when the
application crashes (SIGSEGFAULT or such).
