To be honest, I wouldn't add a text. We would have to separate between 
'Running'
and 'Loading', because that's not the same thing (e.g., in pbs we use 
the spinner
on the snapshot size—where it would be 'Loading'—and on the task 
log—where it would
be 'Running'). Then we would also have to adjust some tables, because 
the 'Running'
or 'Loading' text won't fit (As far as I know, they use a fixed width).

Right, we can do that, should be a fairly simple change as well.
