Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Without this change, Lubuntu users with slow systems have no
  indication that a program has been started once the executable has
  been launched, so they might end up trying to go through diagnostics
  of some sort when in reality the program is just taking a while.

  [Test Case]

   1. Start a program on a slow system, or just make sure the program is large.
   2. There should be an indication on the cursor that the program is starting up.

  [Regression Potential]

  The regression potential is fairly low because this dependency has
  been included in Debian and Ubuntu for over a year now. Where a
  regression could occur is if an update to libxcursor-dev is issued
  that is incompatible with openbox in a breaking way, and this is very
  unlikely in a stable release.

  [Original Description]

  Application Startup Notify option doesn't work  and is apparently ignored: after starting any application there is no loading cursor or visual advice to tell if the application is really starting. Adding StartupNotify=true to the .desktop entry is useless, the parameter is just ignored.
  This is very annoying when you use a touchpad because there is no feedback at all.

  NOTES: libstartup-notification0 and notification-daemon are installed.
