Ah! Effectively you want to keep the progress window open for at least a 
second to give the user a chance to click one of the "open" buttons. But 
should this not be implemented in SlaveBase::finish() ?

Another suggestion: please make these controls ("Open xxx", "keep open" and 
the display of the speed) optional. Most users get confused by so many 
details. 

Consider a "role" model for KDE-users. This will also be usefull for 
administrative tasks. Users that take only the role of an "office user" 
should never see such complicated dialogs that contain mostly technical 
information.

Yours Jürgen
