           Summary: Problem starting programs which do not open a main
                    window
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: daniel_mcl hotmail com


Version:           3.3.0 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          doesn't matter doesn't matter
OS:                Linux

So, there is a bit of a problem in KDE with starting something which does not open a \
main window.  For example, if my media player (noatun) is already running and I \
choose another mp3 to play from kfm, KDE creates a temporary window labelled "noatun" \
with an hourglass icon and makes the cursor into an hourglass, ostensibly waiting for \
a window to be created or something.  This is just a minor annoyance here, but if I \
use the Alt-F2 menu (or kfm I guess) to start an opengl game, which generally doesn't \
open a window, I get a bouncing hourglass cursor while the game is starting, which \
can severely mess up the graphics.  So I'd like the wait-cursor implementation to be \
better, or at least easily disableable.

Looking at what I just wrote, it sounds kinda incoherent.  Anyway, try starting quake \
3 from kfm or the alt-f2 menu and look at what the cursor does.  It's bad.
