Probably a bug.  Something similar happens in the X11 themes --
the progress bar trough expands to fill the available height,
but the bar itself stays centered at the default thickness.

The following fixes this for the X11 themes:

    style theme settings default {
	style layout Horizontal.TProgressbar {
	    Horizontal.Progressbar.trough -sticky nswe -children {
		Horizontal.Progressbar.pbar -side left -sticky ns
	    }
	}
    }

(i.e., change the ".pbar" element from '-sticky {}' to '-sticky ns';
will fix this in CVS).

In the aqua theme, however, it's already using '-sticky nsew',
and the progress bar element draw function is passing the entire
parcel to DrawThemeTrack().  So the Appearance manager might be
hardwired to draw progress bars with the HIG-specified thickness.

Will investigate further (bug filed at SF: #1357605).
