Description Ferdinand Gassauer 2002-11-06 08:35:11 UTC

Version:           1.5 (using KDE 3.0.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.2.19

Hi!
No launch feedback (cursor) is displayed after starting the addressbook out of kmail.
as it takes some (IMHO too long) time to start up the addressbook with some 800 entries 
The user will tend to click the icon multiple times
BTW I can't remember if the feedback was there prior to KDE 31

I just checked: In KDE 3.0 the startup notification was shown. 
But we simply start the address book with KRun::runCommand("kaddressbook"); 
and this hasn't changed since KDE 3.0 so it has probably been changed in KRun.

KRun::runCommand() has been fixed. You should however consider using one of the 
startServiceBy* methods, as runCommand() is just guessing and may possibly sometimes 
guess wrong.
