 I tried copying a large (200 MB+) file in Sugar's journal from a USB stick
 to other flash memory (a USB stick on one system, and an XO's SD card on
 another).  There was no progress indication or busy indication in Sugar
 that the file was copying apart from the fact that the item appeared after
 copying complete.  Erasing the file took a few seconds to show as well on
 lower powered hardware.

 If possible we should at least show the busy cursor during file operations
 on/between media devices, if not a progress meter for longer operations.

 Tested on OLPC/Sugar 0.84 as well as a SoaS 0.90/F14 October 25 build.
