Description Harald Sitter 2012-02-29 05:20:15 UTC
Version:           0.2
OS:                Linux

with a big apt cache it take >1second to display anything in the software center, this easily suggests that something is broken unnecessarily worrying poor users

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
super size your cache and then fire up muon-installer

Actual Results:  
empty views appear

Expected Results:  
no empty views appear OR it is indicated that muon is doing something (former is technically not possible IIRC)

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.2.0-17-generic
Compiler: gcc

Multithread Application object creation. With this we can add a progress throbber to the Muon Software Center.
We couldn't do this very well before because Application creation was blocking and would have made any animation freeze.

Hmm, I must have used a wrong keyword in my second commit message. Here's the commit that fixes this in a way that closes the boog:

Add a "busy" throbber to the main view. This shows that we are indeed doing something
