Xalf is a small utility to provide feedback when starting X11 applications. Feedback can be given via four different indicators: an invisible window (to be used in conjunction with a task pager like GNOME's tasklist_applet or KDE's Taskbar), an generic splashscreen, an hourglass attached to the mouse cursor, or an animated star.
