whow, such historical detail ;)

Now let's hope that the 3.0 will rid us of the necessity of talking about
how many titles a progress window needs..
In reality, even the current stable HIG recommends against using windows for
the indication of progress, which itself leads to the conclusion that
displaying progress within an extra window is an improper way of presenting
that kind of data.
