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

[Bruce]

In Mate (if you are trying to start the program from a desktop icon or a 
menu item then) the
	[Desktop Entry]
	StartupNotify=true
entry in the .desktop file will add a totally annoying entry in the 
taskbar telling you that the program is starting.
I know this because:
a) it persists "long" after the program has started and the gui is ready 
to use and
b) I have spent months trying to get rid of it.
