[dbus-branch] some small glichtes

[Michael Vogt]

Binary package hint: computer-janitor

Some small issues with the dbus branch I notiiced:
- Show ignored is ignored on startup, re-toggling it fixes that
- the progressbar in the UI grows while in operation and looks too big
- startup is slow if the dbus daemon needs to be started (show progress while this happens?)

This is just for tracking.

Merged in lp~mvo/computer-janitor/dbus to fix the progress bar part

r236 for that change

Can you provide more detail? I think it works for me:

% computer-janitor find
removable deb:libbind9-50
removable deb:libgupnp-1.0-2
removable deb:liblwres50
removable deb:linux-backports-modules-nouveau-lucid-generic
removable deb:linux-headers-2.6.32-14
removable deb:linux-headers-2.6.32-14-generic
removable deb:python-gtkhtml2
% computer-janitor ignore deb:libbind9-50
% computer-janitor ignore deb:liblwres50
% computer-janitor find
ignored deb:libbind9-50
removable deb:libgupnp-1.0-2
ignored deb:liblwres50
removable deb:linux-backports-modules-nouveau-lucid-generic
removable deb:linux-headers-2.6.32-14
removable deb:linux-headers-2.6.32-14-generic
removable deb:python-gtkhtml2

Now when I run computer-janitor-gtk initially I see only these packages:

libgupnp-1.0-2
linux-backports-modules-nouveau-lucid-generic
linux-headers-2.6.32-14
linux-headers-2.6.32-14-generic
python-gtkhtml2

If I toggle View->Show previous libbind9-50 and liblwres50 show up unchecked.

Here are some timings. On a cold start:

% ./run_from_checkout.sh
time to create system_bus: 0.0028440952301
time to get proxy: 2.63479399681
time to get interface: 1.4066696167e-05

On a warm start (janitord is running):

time to create system_bus: 0.0017249584198
time to get proxy: 0.000355005264282
time to get interface: 7.86781311035e-06

Is it worth adding timer to pop up a dialog, say after 1 second? That would
avoid a flash for the warm start (which should be more common I think).

I think most of the issues except the one I don't understand are fix committed.
