dialog box; that lets us do some type-checking, but we can still typedef
it to an incompletely-defined structure to hide the implementation
details from the caller.
Make "create_progress_dlg()" take, as an argument, the title to put in
the "stop the operation" button, and use "Stop" rather than "Cancel" if
stopping the operation doesn't undo all the work it's done.
Thaw the clist if we break out of a "read the file" operation, as we
freeze it before the operation.
Have the handler for the "delete" event on the progress dialog box
return FALSE, to let GTK+ know that it should, in fact, delete the
window. ("delete" event handlers should return TRUE if the window
shouldn't actually be deleted, FALSE if it should; they should not
return "void".)

rather than an Alignment; that appears to be the correct way to keep
buttons from expanding to the full width of the window.
Don't use "gtk_widget_show()" on every single widget in the progress
dialog box, use "gtk_widget_show_all()" on the top-level widget.

"gtk_grab_add()"; the former makes it a bit clearer what's being done,
and I think it may be considered the right way to do it (GTK+ remembers
the state of the window and appears to add and remove the grab as
appropriate).

window and makes it transient for the top-level window; the
transient-for at least provides a hint to X window managers to
minimize the dialog if the main window is minimized;
keep the dialog on top of the main window in the Z order for
windows;
perhaps (if there are any window managers that actually *do*
this) even put it atop the main window in the X-Y plane (KWM
doesn't and I seem to remember that the Exceed X server for
Windows doesn't).
It's generally considered the Right Thing To Do for dialog boxes.
Use that routine to create dialog boxes, rather than doing it directly
in the code for that dialog box.

parameters and doesn't have to be stuffed into a GtkAlignment to align
it on the left. (Alas, GtkButton *isn't* a subclass of GtkMisc, so we
have to stuff the Cancel button into an alignment to keep it from
growing to the width of the window.)

potentially long-running operation that has a progress indicator, pop up
a modal dialog box with
an indication of what is being done;
a progress bar;
a "Cancel" button to stop the operation.
This:
leaves more room on the status line for a filter expression;
provides a mechanism to allow the user to cancel long-running
operations (although the way we do so may not back out of them
as nicely as the user might like, if it's not obvious what the
"right" way is or if the "right" way is difficult to implement
or involves doing as much work as letting the operation
continue);
means that, because the dialog box is modal, we don't have to
worry about the user performing arbitrary UI operations out from
under the operation and changing arbitrary bits of state being
used by that operation.
