I've had this problem for ages (3+ years) with Thunderbird. I'm now in triage mode as I've just installed Lucid and I've been tracking down lots of little annoyances.
For the record, Thunderbird 3 has the same issue. I'll point out that it's not *just* the little progress bar, but /any/ progress bar that Thunderbird presents.
