[kepler-dev] Disabling run....

[Chad Berkley]

Hey Rod,

I'm not sure how to disable the run button, but it like the indicator 
showing that the workflow isn't ready to run should come from the actor 
that's delaying it.  Maybe the actor should be greyed out and have a 
little progress meter showing below it.  I think it's important to show 
the user why the workflow currently isn't executable.  I haven't tried 
to alter the execution environment (i.e. the run button) from a model, 
but I'm kind of guessing that there is no interface to do so...maybe 
one of the ptolemy folks can shed some light on this.
