"Cylon block" is an excellent name :-)  I'm going to
start calling it that instead.

But yeah, with -mode indeterminate -value 0, the block
probably shouldn't appear.  Possibly the trough/track 
shouldn't be visible either.

That doesn't sound right -- it worked for me on Aqua when
I last tried it.  Maybe I broke something between then
and now...

Judgment call, mostly; it just seemed to fit together
better that way.

We could make these widget methods instead; it just seemed
better to me to handle this at the script level.  Conversely,
we could also handle the -phase-autoincrement logic at
the script level, but since -phase is part of the interface
between the widget and the theme I think it's better that
the scripting layer not have to worry about it.

More on this next message.
