I completely agree.  I believe that what users want is something simple that 
indicates that the machine is busy. I dont believe a user really cares 
specifically what application is busy...I feel the user needs to be informed 
of some activity on the machine...and a spinning gear will take the tried and 
tested hourglass but tweak it to the KDE theme.

I think the the spinning gear will look elegent, and will not rely on the 
panel being engaged if it is on hid or the taskbar is not enabled. It seems 
to solve most problems with this (aleady huge) thread.

Although I am not coding this...lets agree on something before everyone gets 
sick of the issue.
