What are Tapestry people using to provide users with feedback during 
long-running requests? By "long-running" request, I mean the user hits a 
button and has to wait a minute or two (or 20 :)) before the final result 
page is returned because the task triggered by the button push is just so 
time consuming. Basic UI design dictates trying to provide feedback during 
this processing "lull".

Have people come up with any components to handle providing feedback for 
this scenario? If not components, then what kind of techniques? Http 
meta-refresh? Javascript hackery?
