Launch feedback

This capplet allows you configure application launch feedback, i.e. indicators which tell you that a program is being loaded. Such indicators, which can take a number of forms (i.e., an hourglass icon next to mouse cursor or a blinking star) come to life the moment you click on the application launch button or select it in the menu and stay on until the application actually starts or until specified time has passed. These indicators can be very useful in cases when an application takes a long time to start: without them, you would never know whether the application is just taking a long time to start, or something went wrong (e.g., it has crashed at startup, or you maybe you didn't click on that button at all).
