[Sugar-devel] Download Manager ProgressBar [DESIGN]

[James Cameron]

ProgressBar from Gtk is overkill, we already have a ProgressIcon
in Sugar.

In sugar-toolkit-gtk3:

Look at progressicon.py, you will see it does not use a ProgressBar,
but has a __draw_cb method connected to the "draw" signal.

Look at toolbutton.py, you will see it wraps ToolButton do_draw
method.
