Display song progress bar in player window

[Sancho Panza]

This is a feature request/wishlist:
The Pithos song player window currently shows the song progress as "time elapsed/total time" format. It will be a lot more user friendly if this format was replaced/enhanced with a progress bar.

Heres an attempt, its more a global progress bar rather then a individual song progress bar

I agree with the addition of a progress bar as I recently had a request by my 6 year old to rewind a song. To her disappoint, I was unable to do so either by pulling the song back and/or double-clicking on the song. She off crying to her room, tehe. It was either that or the Adele song that she want me to rewind ;)

Hope this is the use case you were looking for get to this feature higher up on the wishlist. That and the fact that several other clients have this feature.

Keep up the fantastic work everybody. A day doesn't go by that I don't use Pandora.

@josefsoares the patch looks great. I'm going to try it now.

The patch is good. I looked into adding seeking, but am stumped at receiving button events on the progress bar. I connected it using the treeview as an example, but it seems that the button events never happen. Here is a branch in case someone wants to help with this. But as it is now, it works fine to simply see the progress.

Not sure the seeking ability is necessary. Sure it would be nice to have, but seeking using Pandora on their site, or via their mobile apps, is not possible, besides skipping entire songs.

So the question is, do we want to provide similar functionality to their branded apps (web, mobile)?
