I've often wondered if it would be possible to make something that would
provide an animated, work in progress indicator. I would only want it to
come up after a certain threshold of time. I think an independent object
with its own thread would be necessary. It could be governed by sending
messages. Is all you would have to do is hook into the session's
OnBeginBusy/OnEndBusy events.

Anyone care to take that on?
