Bug Description
I have a radio tuner that scanning for available stations process will take a while (maybe a 5 minutes) to complete.
When I call scan function, scanning dialog locks up (prevents user action to cancel process), the progress bar does not show any activity until the scan is complete, and then it abruptly indicates scan complete.

What probably happens is that the event (signals) that take care of the visual update of the progress bar are lower in priority, so although they are sent, the progress bar visual display does not get updated but only at the end of the critical section in the code.
