Evince does not indicate that it is 'busy'

[Paul Sladen]

When Evince (a PDF viewer) is busy rendering content in the background, there is
no indications of activity to the user that it is busy. Evince can be in a
situation where no content appears on the screen for a period of 60 seconds or
longer, even if using 100% of the CPU.

Evince should probably set the 'hourglass' cursor when it is busy to give the
user useful feedback that something *is* happening.
