No busy cursor when open document

Hi,
I have 32-bit Arch with Gnome. When I launch an app, say OpenOffice, from the menu, the cursor will turn into a busy one (indicating something working in the background). That's fine. However, when I click on a .doc file. The cursor stays the same (just the arrow) and openoffice pop up after awhile. This is very annoying because it causes me to open serveral instances of the app and slow down my computer because I don't know if it will open or not. Please help me fix this. Thanks

Re: No busy cursor when open document

I don't think there's any way to "fix" it. OO can ask for a "busy" cursor to be displayed within its own window, but how can it have a cursor with no window? Another word processor might start up faster though. Or perhaps you could refrain from frantically clicking on the file while you wait.
