I find myself agreeing with @apol. Here's an idea: - Don't show the progress window at all for 500 milliseconds, like Plasma's Notifications. This will prevent it from unnecessarily showing up for very quick transfers when you're sending a small file via a fast internet connection, for example - After 500 ms, show a (correctly-sized and nice-looking) window with an indeterminate progress bar - Individual plugins that actually report status will instead get a regular progress bar Does that sound sane?
