[Bug 44458] Re: [Dapper] "Reading Database" message window: considerations

[Pascal De Vuyst]

Vincent, I agree that the "Reading printer database" window looks unprofessional.
Several people reported in bug #39604 and duplicates that it takes around 10 seconds before the gnome-cups-add window is shown. I think for this short time we don't need a dialog, a simple busy cursor indicating to the user he has to wait a bit would be enough.
The same should be done for showing printer properties and deleting a printer.

You need to look in the debian/patches directory for the "Reading
printer database" window and other changes applied by debian and ubuntu.
