I thought I could kick off a long-running Guile thread, then check its status occasionally and show the user how things are progressing. But threading doesn't seem to be an option. So maybe while Guile is running, it could just call a progress reporting function once in a while that updates the druid's widgets. Are there existing GnuCash functions that support progress bars and let me specify my own progress bar widget? (My guess would be "no", since the splash screen would seem to be a similar case, and it appears to have needed to supply custom functions for updating its progress bar.)
