The label isnt consistent across apps (bug 108706) and sometimes doesnt show
(bug 108707).

Yes most users wont notice the progress bar unless it is a large/complex file
or if the loading process has stalled.

Yep the devs have to give their input on whether it is even possible to exit
out of the import routine with the proposed 'cancel' button.

Meeks, Thorsten, Samuel, Maxim: Any thoughts?
