[Gambas-user] Question: Wait-sign on start

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Thank you Fabien,

good idea, but it doesn't help here. It is the time from clicking the 
icon to starting the program which gets no indicator.

Strangely, Mate seems to know that starting a binary needs some 
indication to the user like "This icon was clicked".

When there is a Gambas app behind, it seems not to know. So there is no 
reaction when double-clicking the icon, and the user wonders "has my 
double-click been accepted, or is Mate still waiting for something?"

Then, mostly, the program pops up and confirms that the double-click was 
seen. But prior to this, there is no loading indicator.

I just found, the Gambas IDE itself doesn't have a starting indicator.

Regards
Rolf
