Which platform?  It is fine for Windows.  It does look like Linux is 
somewhat screwed up.  It didn't used to be.  That code is based on 
the wxStatusBar in the demo.

It does confuse things though (actually it confuses them more :-) )

There are two forms of progress, referred to as progressmajor and
progressminor in the code.  (Sometimes I actually need another
level as well to be accurate).

Major tracks big picture stuff.  eg when you do getdata, the boxes
you tick are major items.  The progress for that is shown using
digits (eg 2/3 Wallpaper).

The minor stuff tracks small things.  For example it shows the
progress in retrieving an individual file.  You can already
see how it is all confused.  I have a major sequence
(phonebook, calendar, wallpaper, ringtones ... more to come in the 
future such as call log, sms etc).  We have a minor sequence 
(eg if retrieving wallpapers, there may be 15 files we are getting).
There is another sequence (eg progress in getting an individual 
wallpaper file).

The display in the statusbar tries to put them in order.  Your patch
disrupts the order, but it was somewhat screwy anyway.

I am welcome to suggestions.  The only constraint is that the first 
field has to be pretty large and is where the menus display their
help text.  You cannot change which field they do it in.
