Hmmm, I would have expected progressbar as well, but your point does =
make
sense.  The problem is that 'progress' is so ... half-sensical from the =
widget
naming perspective.  I'm not sure that progressbar isn't still more
appropriate, as throbbers and chasing arrows are "bar-like".

Note that Ttk is likely to hit the 8.5 codebase (finally :/ ) between =
0.7.8
and 0.8.0.  It will free up some restrictions in code sharing (full Tk =
core
internals access) and may make something things like this easier.
