Show feedback, like a dialog or activity symbol.
(Activity/Progress/Busy/Working Cursor/Symbol indicator)
Show feedback, like a dialog or activity symbol, when
doing akticities that can take more than 2 seconds, like
network related stuff like retrieving info from IMDb, or
accessing a XNS/XBMSP/SMB share, or scanning the
DVD-ROM drive when a new CD/DVD is inserted, or
caching an movie from the DVD-ROM drive to HDD (along
with the procentage % ), and could/should also show
when you get the caching dialogue box while viewing
pictures, or while loading/starting a other XBE (or game).
Reason: Feedback is crucial for letting users know
what's going on, this way the user know XBMC is busy.
This should also 'hang' if XBMC hangs/freeze/locks-up.
Not sure if a animated GIF or a moving 3D model be best?
as a small hour glass, spinning wheel or something similar

Maybe you can use XBMP Busy Indicator patch, here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=782364&group_id=64793&atid=508680
