Maybe what you are saying why you want a try icon is so that you can be notified once that long running process is done? That way you can start the proces then go browse the web edit a document what ever and then maybe the icon turns from red to green letting you know there are no running processes in PL/SQL developer. I see how this could be of value if looked at in more detail. I do think is one of those bonus items but none the less could be handy.
