Comment 8 for bug 549643

If the Google designers say it's allowed, then who am I to question this? ;-) . On a more serious note, I agree with your arguments against the window progress bar. I would say your work is ready to be merged in a very near future, please request a merge when you think your work is finished.

I checked the Twitter app and the item in the ActionBar can be used through the trackball. If you manage to do it in Tomdroid, feel free to remove the menu item as it would remove the last objection I had against this.
