The current progress dialog is quite limited in terms of features, and it
does not appear in every situation (for instance when copying files to your
desktop). The new dialog (
http://gezeiten.org/post/2009/09/Design-of-the-Thunar-Progress-Dialog) gives
much more information, and according to discussions going on in xfce-devel,
may have a better integration with xfdesktop in the future.

This is what I was referring to, but you're right, there is a progress
dialog popping up in thunar 1.0.1 in most situations already. I suppose
Robin was interested in a single dialog for all transfer/copy operations
going on, such as what Nautilus offers at the moment. And this comes with
Thunar 1.1.0! :)
