1. Different colors on the border surrounding the pane (but this  
competes with the red/blue indicating which pane is "Active")
2. An LED-like glyph in the pane's title bar?
3. A small overlay in one corner of the pane? (Ken's favorite: a pie  
chart showing either time remaining before a still render or time  
spent waiting for a still render to finish. :-)
