New issue 272 by roman.ve... at ...626...: Progress bars lack the "pulse"  
property for intermediate progress bar
http://code.google.com/p/gambas/issues/detail?id=272

Progress bars are currently such that they can be set to a value, but GTK+  
(I don't know about Qt) has a property called "pulse" as described here:  
http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkprogressbar.html#method-gtkprogressbar--pulse  
which are also described as intermediate progress bars here:  
http://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/3.0/controls-progress-bars.html.en#indeterminate-progress  
for situations in which you want to say to the user "hey there's some  
progress happening, but I can't reliably track it."

Gambas should include support for the intermediate or pulse progress bars  
either as their own object or perhaps as simply a property to regular  
progress bars.
