Inkscape was closed (OK). 'Wait' (depending on the file either a generic clockface or a preview of the file) icon still overlys everything (Not OK). Icon persists as overlay for eternity, or until system reboot. Closing all Nautilus windows will make it dissappear after 10 seconds. Expected: Wait Icon dissappears as soon as the force-quit application is shut down, i.e. as soon as the wait is over.
