Title:
  zenity --progress cancel button doesn't return a value

Status in Zenity:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: zenity

  On Gutsy with zenity 2.20.0-0ubuntu1 there is no code returned when
  the cancel button is clicked. There is an option --auto-kill that
  kills the parent process when used but that doesn't kill any child
  processes that may have started already and without the --auto-kill
  option nothing gets returned on the cancel button press so there is no
  way to handle the button press and kill the processes manually.

  Example code :

  mknod /tmp/pipe$$ p
          shntool split -f "$1" -o 'cust ext=mp3 lame --quiet - %f' -t "%n - %t" -d "$DirName" "$DirName/$FileName" \
          &> /tmp/pipe$$ | \
          (zenity --progress --pulsate --text="Splitting $FileName.\n Please wait until OK is active.") \
          < /tmp/pipe$$
          echo "$?"
  rm /tmp/pipe$$

  
  This code uses shntool to split an ape file based on its cue file which calls lame (for mp3 creation) and mac (for the ape file handling) as children processes. If the --auto-kill argument is used the program gets killed but the children processes lame and mac keep running. If not , cancel doesn't do anything at all. $? echoes 0 when everything is finished and ok is pressed.
