Hi Andrea,

I do very much share the concern. Yet, earlier this month I tried 
another way of doing so (you gave me the link to the example), which I 
accidentally committed and then reverted. So we have a diff:
<http://fisheye.codehaus.org/changelog/geoserver/?cs=12533>

Look at the diff, the only thing needed would be to replace the 
"<h1>Can't touch this</h1>" by the actual animated "processing" icon.
Now, this is a lot less work, but I'm not sure how the other approach 
might be better. Perhaps you know since you're the one that got to both 
solutions?

Cheers,
Gabriel
