Application launch notification

[David Johnston <david littlebald com>]

Hello, all.

Can anyone tell me why xalf isn't part of Gnome2?  Is it integrated now?

For those who don't remember it, xalf would do what the hourglass
pointer does in Windows: tell the user to be patient while their app
starts.  Some of my users have started opening the same app a dozen
times because they think the "click" didn't take.

There are notes in some old Gnome docs I have about integrating this
into Gnome, and development on Xalf seems to have stopped.  However, I
can't seem to find it.

Can anyone help?
