Hello,

I have a few comments on this interesting discussion:

 - First of all the argument between the taskbar notification and the mouse 
notification. the mouse seems to be the center  point for the users focus on 
the desktop (mind focus that is). It is natural that we should place 
notification there. Many users dont notice in the taskbar...and what if the 
taskbar is on autohide.

 - Secondly...I dont see the problem with an hourglass. I dont feel that an 
icon is that helpful to the user...although I do believe that it can help.


I personally feel that a spinning gear (like in Konqi) would look the best. I 
feel we need a form of animation to indicate that something is occuring. The 
problem with the current soloution is that as it does not animate it feels a 
bit slow.


Waldo made some valid points about animation in X being pretty bad. Anyone 
able to give an indication when this may be resolved?

	Jono
