I'll have to try that one.

Most of the time, they app in question doesn't have a beach ball.   
For example, iDVD (yeah, I should get something better) just won't  
react to the mouse.  It doesn't show a busy cursor, it just doesn't  
react.

Next time I fire it up on a 4-hour DVD creation, I'll try hiding it  
with the keyboard.

But from what was said here earlier, it won't work because the  
application processes the keystrokes.
