Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
* open a file browser
* double-click a file to launch its associated app
Or:
* open Unity file lens
* clic a file to launch its associated app
Or:
* open Shotwell, select a photo
* choose "Open in external editor" to launch your favorite photo editor.
Or:
* in lubuntu lxde desktop, launch an app from the desktop menu.
Observed:
* the associated application starts, but the user does not know until its window eventually opens. It might last a fraction of a second (lucky you), or up to ten seconds. You might have deseperatly repeated the action twice or more until then ;)
Expected:
* some notification immediately informs the user that the app is being launched.
This is a regression, though in previous versions of ubuntu, a spinning cursor was displayed as a notificaction, but only gtk+ applications had it, other (libreoffice, qt apps) didn't (bug #798304, marked as duplicate).

Sebastien,
Thank you for the triaging. I wished this bug had a higher importance though. It might be a detail on fast computers, but on lower end or aging ones, it is really a pain, specially for newcomers.
