Ok, this helps explain why moving the mouse causes the idle event: "Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events happens and only then is the next idle event sent again." But I'm still confused about why *not* moving the mouse still allowed the progress bar to increase (although that behavior has stopped now for some reason). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
