Improve the progress dialog

[Jens Askengren]

The progress dialog has some minor issues:

 - There is a back button. I'm not sure what it does, because I don't dare to press it...

  - The main window is visible when doing a backup.

 - It would be really nice if there was a run in background button (see http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/180523/run-in-background.gif) that would minimize the entire application to a status bar icon. The icon could display the progress much like the battery meter or the WiFi signal strength meter. I'm really scared of accidentally pressing the cancel button. Minimizing the dialog would solve this problem and hiding the two windows that you don't want to see for the duration of the backup.

Thanks!

That's a good idea. A 'go away' button could turn the window into the applet you get when you schedule a backup. The fact that that icon doesn't display progress is a separate bug in its own right.

As for what the back button does while you're backing up, it's basically a cancel button that doesn't dismiss the dialog.
