GUI doesn't give enough startup feedback

Description

On startup, the GUI displays "Connecting to network" and spins for a minute or two, then either switches to "Ready", or the app quits.

There should be some more feedback to the user. It can be simple (eg. "Connecting to network (attempt 4/5)"), complex ("Starting Pastry Node"), or even silly (I quite like the idea of just randomly generating statuses like "Enabling RSS Winerization", "Activating Podcast DeXenification?", and "Filtering LiveJournal? Kottkelation" -- might buy you some buzz) Just something more for the user to chew on while massive amounts of machination occur in the background.
