        Annoying :-) we should fix that.

        They are useful when we're doing a first-ever startup, and a lot of
heavy-lifting gets done during that first run: creating your home
directory skeleton, compiling help, registering extensions etc. etc.

        Luckily a lot of this is getting a lot quicker with Stephan's work, and
we shouldn't really be stuffing tons of duplicate stuff in per-user
directories anyway, so - perhaps in future it'll not be necessary (we
hope ;-).

        I guess for slow tasks, it gives the user the impression something is
happening while they start [ though the progress bar can give that too
but is not very granular ].

        ATB,

                Michael.
