Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.18.1, Ubuntu Maverick
Method A:
1. Navigate to the software item screen for a non-purchase item.
2. Choose "Install", and authenticate if necessary.
What happens:
* The installation state bar changes to "Installing..." immediately.
* The progress bar does not appear until (in my testing) 5 seconds later.
Method B:
1. Navigate to the software item screen for a for-purchase item.
2. Complete the payment process, and authenticate.
What happens:
* The installation state bar changes to "Installing purchase..." immediately.
* The progress bar does not appear until (in my test) 42 seconds later.
What should happen:
* The progress bar should appear immediately. As long as the download has not yet begun, the progress bar should be indeterminate.

status: | New → In Progress |
(I'm ambivalent about whether this should be Medium or High. I think the only thing saving it from High importance is that the spastic "In Progress" item in the navigation pane gives the impression that *something* is happening.)
