## Comportamento do Lançamento de Aplicações

Em alguns casos, é conveniente saber se o seu computador não ignorou simplesmente o seu comando ou se algo de alheio está a acontecer. Neste módulo, poderá configurar o 'feedback' visual que lhe ajudará a saber se realmente carregou naquele ícone ou não.

The traditional way to indicate that your computer is busy is to modify the cursor, and you can turn this on by choosing a Busy Cursor checkbox.

With this option enabled, your cursor will have an icon attached to it for a short time, when a new application is being launched. You can configure how long this icon is displayed beside your cursor with the Startup indication timeout (seconds): spinbox. The default is 30 seconds.

There are several variations of busy cursor available, including a blinking cursor, a bouncing cursor or a passive icon with no animation.

Traditional &kde; launch notification has taken another form, which you can also enable and disable here. Normally when you start an application, it gets an immediate entry in the taskbar, with the icon replaced by a spinning hourglass to let you know something is happening. You can toggle this behavior on and off with the Enable Taskbar Notification checkbox, and when it's enabled, you can set a time in the Startup indication timeout (seconds): spinbox.

Not all applications that you start will eventually show a window, or an entry in the taskbar. Some of them, for example, are docked into the &kde; system tray. Alternatively, it might be that you sent it off to a different virtual desktop, and Show all windows is unchecked in the &kcontrolcenter; module Taskbar. Setting a timeout ensures that, even in these cases, you can still get launch feedback, but also that it will go away when the job is done.
