Details

The menu items under the ArchLinux group have "launch feedback" enabled. The application used to launch the urls in this menu does not support launch feedback, resulting in a bouncing cursor for a few seconds after the url appears in the browser.

The fix is to simply create the menu items with "enable launch feedback" unchecked.
This task depends upon

It depends on what is your preferred browser. I don't know about firefox or Opera, but konqueror, epiphany and galeon do support startup notification, in which case the launchers work as they are designed.

My browser is konq. Here's what I see on my system. I select the ArchLinux > Documentation menu item, konq starts up and displays the url, and the happy bouncing icon hangs around for another few seconds...

The "command" associated with the menu item is "xdg-open http://www.archlinux.org/static/docs/arch-install-guide.html". Is it possible that while konq supports launch feedback, xdg-open doesn't?
