Description:
I'm using Workbench against a large database where queries can take upwards of 10 minutes to return results. As such, I'm kicking off a query and then switching to another app, only to keep cycling back to Workbench to see if my query completed. A nice usability feature would be the ability to leverage the Growl framework to notify the user when a query has completed, returned an error, etc. A notification could simple state that the query finished returning n rows and took mm:ss to execute.

How to repeat:
1. Open MySQL Workbench and select a database with a large dataset
2. Execute a query that's known to take a few minutes to return results

Suggested fix:
Add option to utilize the Growl framework to notify the user when a query has completed.
