Is this for your Qt app? Although that function for the progress wheel is Hildon specific, what it does to display that wheel is not. I don't know Qt, so I'm asking: Does PyQt have functions for allowing you to manipulate windows' properties (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Windo...d_properties)? Also, if this dialog has nothing in it except for the wheel and title, why not use http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/pyth...ts.html#banner and the progress stuff it provides? It's asynchronous, allows you to set a timeout and you can destroy it at any time. I know it says it's not recommended anymore but it does look prettier than a dialog that has only a title and a wheel, IMHO. (Alternatively,just make the dialog you're already using async. - use dialog.show[all]() instead of dialog.run() and you can then destroy the dialog from another function when you've finished updating)
dialog.show_all() hildon.hildon_gtk_window_set_progress_indicator(dialog, 1) dialog.run()
