This was always a mess. There is no api or anything indicating progress of 
any application start. KDE and Gnome used just a timeout to wait for app 
window to appear. This does not help to find if app started or it a broken 
link. IMHO this is not a must have featrure for IceWM. If something is 
slow to start, them I do not use it (if you buy SSD disk, then any 
indication is not needed anymore :).
