Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Until Ubuntu 10.10, with Classic Gnome Desktop, users where notified while applications were starting up ("Starting <appname>" box in Gnome window bar).
I believe this feature should be kept in 11.04 with Unity Desktop, so users are notified in case of applications with long start-up time or just in case of low-speed computers.

This bug was started from a conversation on ubuntu-desktop with the subject: "Consistent, clear application start-up notifications" Here are my two cents.
For sure that would help my grandpa, he's got an older computer and gets frustrated when things don't open right away... He then ends up opening 8 copies of firefox or some .odt file. I think some sort of pulsing icon would be the most recognizable thing for him to understand that "the program/file is loading, please wait a minute."
