cloud 9 | XFCE no busy indicator? In Gnome, KDE, Windows Mac OS, and just about every other desktop environment I've used, when you click on an application, the mouse pointer provides some sort of indication that the computer is working on loading the application. Is there a way to get xfce to do this as well?

| Go to Settings -> Settings Manager -> Mouse and check the theme in use for the mouse.
The Default setting has no indicators for what you are wanting.
If you have other themes listed there, click on them until you see one that might fill the bill.
Close Settings Manager and log-out then log-in and the theme setting for the mouse should be set and you should then have what you are looking for.

| That's because XFCE is so fast you wouldn't get to see it anyway  |

cloud 9 | I wish! However, I tend to only use XFCE on older slower machines, where there tends to be significant delays. The lack of a busy indicator drives me crazy. I find myself getting impatient, and click happy.

Certain varieties of hemp may help with that (j/k)
My personal computer is just at that point where GNOME Shell with all the candy is a littlebit much for it (it'll still run ok but not as smoothly as it should), so I decided to try XFCE. Once I configured it to look/feel exactly like GNOME 2.x, I decided to keep it, but my machine is new enough for it to be lightning fast.
I know there are even more light-weight solutions for older hardware but I never really looked into them. I only have 1 computer that couldn't run XFCE smoothly, and I'm running CentOS with no GUI on it.

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
