The way I see it, there are 2 parts of the issue.

1. Something is happening for 5 seconds.
2. During those 5 seconds, X2Go Client is displaying the Hourglass-and-Pointer.

We should be able to fix the issue by solving either part.

Perhaps there is some Qt feature we need to adjust in order to fix part #2?
