I also hate such blockers, where I'm unable to use the page until every 
image is loaded. Also I'm sure that you know the situation, when you've 
clicked the wrong icon by accident and want to click the right one 
before the page is reloaded. Mask prevents this.

I'm thinking of some "Loading" indicator in the top bar. I just know it 
from StudiVZ, where it's always in the upper right corner.
Sth. like a spinning TYPO3 logo or so *g* At least some recognizable 
indicator, which is always on the same place.

P.S: IIRC SteffenK wrote that he added the mask while development to 
visualize, where sth. changes. Maybe it wasn't meant to be final..

Kind regards
Steffen
