[Sugar-devel] [sugar 0.98 PATCH] sl#3799: Truly show the "waiting" cursor, during the process a section-view is loaded.

[Ajay Garg]

When we click a section-view icon in "My Settings", we should "truly" be
shown the waiting cursor, during the duration the section-view is
loaded.

Currently, the code is there to show the waiting-cursor; however it does
not always take effect, since "realizing" the cursor would happen when
the main-thread goes idle.

Instead, it should be the other way around :: first let "realize" the
waiting-cursor; after this is done, proceed forward with further
actions, by scheduling the further-actions via "gobject.idle_add".
