That is really a good point. The more I use it, the more I realize
this is absolutely essential. But how ? :). What could serve as a good
indication?

1. Different colors on the border surrounding the pane (but this competes with the red/blue indicating which pane is "Active")
2. An LED-like glyph in the pane's title bar?
3. A small overlay in one corner of the pane? (Ken's favorite: a pie chart showing either time remaining before a still render or time spent waiting for a still render to finish. :-)

I just got a chance to try out the new feature that pauses for 2 seconds between the last interactive render and the still render to give you a
chance to make further movements
(http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=10232).  Totally cool.

One thing I noticed though is that there is no indication of an intentional pause. Is there a subtle way to let the user know when the interface is
pausing and when it is busy rendering?  Or is it fine the way it is?
