The karmic way of brasero showing the progress consists of an icon in the system tray, changing as the operation progresses. As far as I understood, the plans for lucid+1 are to completely remove the legacy notification area. Then brasero will have an application indicator with no actions, with a changing icon for showing progress, with no menu, leading to notification area inconsistency again, because all the items there do have a menu.
