Indexing from menu does not work

[Pierre Rust]

Indexing through the menu ( "tools / update index" ) does not work : the progress dialog opens but nothing happens : the progess indicator does but move, the cancel button has no effect, the dialog stays the same forever (at least 10 hours, I've left it an entire night). Closing the windows works but once it has been closed, the `udpate index` menu has no effect (the dialog is not open again).

I've tried launching zim with `zim --gui -D` the only trace I see when staring the indexing process is :

DEBUG: Action: reload_index
INFO: Index update is canceled
INFO: Updating index
DEBUG: Opening ProgressBarDialog
DEBUG: ProgressBarDialog get response -4

When I close the application, I get the following trace :

DEBUG: Action: close (delete-event)

On the other hand when I manually run `zim --index "/path/to/notebook/ -D`, it works.

I'm running zim on linux Mint 17 KDE (should be the same than ubuntu 14.04 with KDE), I've tried both the ppa and the .deb and both exhibits the same problem.

Please let me know if you need more context / information.

Can not reproduce myself, hope index redesign will fix this
