ok... i've noticed this and kicked FXProgressDialog and do my own thing.
for this though i need to create my own dialog. now for some stupid
reason this dialog is always so small that you see nothing in it. i have
empty labels, a progressbar and a button there. i want this to be filled
once the dialog is up and thus want it to be at a fixed size. somehow
though the FXDialogBox-contrstructor completly ignores my size-request
>_<. any ideas?
