Great, Kexi 2.x (x is probably > 0) is going to be built on top of 
multithreaded data access, so many things there will be non-blocking.
The progress classes in kofficecore could be usefull.
Ideas:
- create an thin interface for displaying progressbar's information 
(setRange(), setValue()) instead of depending on QProgressBar; at least two 
benefits:
-- CLI mode can be possible to implement
-- displaying progress information without QProgressBar can be possible (e.g. 
in Kexi's case painting QStyle "progress" primitive on a table grid, where a 
single cell's loading is very slow or delayed)

Also, another step could be a TODO: a GUI for displaying sub-steps, e.g. like 
in KMail when multiple mailboxes are checked.
