Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
When loading a large PDF, the only feedback given is "Loading". After a
few seconds with no visible activity, you easily begin to mistrust this
and think that the application have hanged.
I'd like to see a moving throbber or similar visual indication of
activity while loading/rendering a PDF.
Even better would be a progress bar, showing how much is left. It
doesn't even have to be perfect (I realize the theoretical difficulties
in forecasting the rendering time).

I'm using Kubuntu Hardy.
