I'm a newbie of Ubuntu after using OpenSuse for many years.
I've just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my desktop PC and I've noticed an annoying problem: there is no notification that an application is starting after clicking on the application icon. It's a normal behaviour???
In OpenSuse (KDE 4) usually the mouse pointer starts bouncing or blinking to inform the user that the application is currently starting. In Ubuntu nothing happens until the application window appears on the screen.
I've also tried other desktop manager than Unity, like gnome-flashback and Cinnamon, but the problem is still there.
Any clue? :(
