Description Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2004-03-22 09:52:37 EST 
There are two issues with the implementation of this method that could be fixed. 

First, the way the it's currently implemented the busy cursor will only return
to  be un-busy after a predetermined 5 seconds. Even if the runnable finishes
quickly the cursor has this weird delay. I suggest adding a hook so that the
busy loop terminates when the runnable completes.

Also, if an exception occurs in #scheduleProgressMonitorJob() the busy flag is
not reset and the loop in busycursorWhile won't complete.

This is not how the code works.
