Hi Nio,
AFAIK it is working fine.
Did you try it and it *not* work?
The only thing that doesn't work is the progress indicator.
I tried a few ways, but I could not reliably get it to work, and had
other things of more importance

Also,
I posted on G+ to Numix about our issue with checkboxes, so hopefully we
get some attention and a fix soon..... or an indication that GNOME has
simply continued on the path to make GTK inaccessable outside 'their'
environment.  I am a little dissapointed with the changes to the newer
GTK API, as well as the systemd API breaking old APIs (like upower)....
but to a normal user it wont matter as long as things work on their end
:P  just programmers have these issues.
