I have cases where I have multiple background processes going on that occassionally wake up, and in that case, I really, really appreciate the stacking progress bars - I can tell that one (or more) background processes have kicked off. This isn't quite 'nesting', although I think it uses some of the same features. As long as some result out of this discussion doesn't remove that capability, I agree with what you are saying. -Chris
