Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: SuSE RPMs I use bouncing cursor -- the problem is cursor bounces just for X amount of time and it is not related to real time execution of the app. It would be great, if at least for KDE apps (*), it would be visual feedback _exactly_ to the point user could interact with application, i.e. main window appears (not splash screen). If it would be possible for all apps -- even better. (*) if automatic way is impossible then I would even opt for extra API calls (from every KDE app) just to maintain high quality of "KDE experience"
Funny, it works exactly that way here. Maybe you want to describe your problem instead of a generic vague description?
Cursor is back to normal shape before fully launching KDevelop or Ktorrent -- just examples. Is this fault of those apps?
Both KTorrent and KDevelop work just fine here.
I guess it is KDevelop issue -- it depends on what is being loaded really. I close this report then.

Btw. it is in the second part duplicate of: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132670
Ok, back to this report and KDevelop. Here how the Kdevelop starts: 1) run kdevelop 2) bouncing cursor 3) splashscreen, still bouncing cursor 4) kdevelop main window appears, normal cursor 5) default projects = ~100 files, it is loading, and loading, still normal cursor 6) default project is fully loaded -- still normal cursor My wish: for (4) and (5) still show the bouncing cursor. Similar thing happens to Ktorrent but there the difference (time) is much small. And maybe I rephrase "being operational" -- it is not showing just frame of the window (or something similar), but being able to interact.
that's bogus. once an application is up (as in "it shows its main window"), launch feedback is supposed to cease. its purely up to the application to indicate that it is still non-responsive due to some processing at startup, and the canonical way to do this is a busy cursor. you wouldn't want launch feedback to re-appear when you switch to the next big project, right?
Ok, you are right.
