[Sugar-devel] Download Manager ProgressBar [DESIGN]

[James Cameron]

Great!

Documentation in sugar-toolkit-gtk3 is very brief.

Have a look at http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/z/1aQ0EC.txt for work in
progress documentation fixes for src/sugar3/graphics/progressicon.py.

(Another contributor began fixes, but closed their pull request before
it was merged, so I made an attempt to fix it better.)
