Do the following:
BusyCursor Wait true
AddToFunc StartApp
+ I Exec $0
+ I Wait $1
# use these commands to start your heavy apps
StartApp "xterm -title SystemLog -e tail -f /var/log/messages" SystemLog
StartApp "sleep 3; xcalc" XCalc
Of course, this only changes the busy cursor to clock (configurable using
CursorStyle WAIT) on the root window, not inside existing windows.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Esc if your app is not started for some reason to escape
from Wait.

Mikhael.
