Hey guys, sorry for the repetitive posts, but I wanted to post an update before I headed out for the day...

I just got done trying the Gtk2::Window widget and it looks like that should be good enough for what I wanted to do.


AnonymousMonk,

I just had a chance to check out the Proc::Background Module. Its cool, if I have some extra time maybe I'll try that
and I'll be able to resort back to my original idea of using the ProgressBar... Otherwise I'll just go with the Window
Widget along with an animated Gif and label to sort of "spoof" a ProgressBar. Found lots a free Gifs out there for this
type of purpose like the spinning wheel animation, and endless "progressbar-like" animations (which look sort of like
a horizontal Barber's pole)...


Thanks,
Matt
