[Thunar-dev] Shared progress dialog in Thunar

[Grigory Tuboltsev]

Xfce is often used on notebooks so saving some screen space could be a 
good idea:  (http://i32.tinypic.com/30d9xs9.png)

I am sure i could make it even more compact and improve general 
usability, should i post other mocups ?

Unfortunately I speak no C or C++ so I can only share some usability 
thoughts.

Rgrds,
