what the hell's going on, abrt?

When you go to report a crash (with gnome-abrt 0.3.6), all you see for several seconds is a window with a large, empty grey pane, greyed-out "Close" and "Forward" buttons, and an active "Stop" button.

This isn't particularly friendly. OK, if you're of an analytical turn of mind you can deduce that the clickable "Stop" button implies *something* is going on which you could "stop", but that's pretty indirect. It could do with some kind of indication of what the heck's going on, or just any indication that *something* is going on.

Screenshot attached.

Hi Adam, thank you for taking the time to report this issue. We didn't touch the related code for several months, hence I have been waiting for updates of the dependencies (gtk3, ...). Yesterday, I updated my rawhide box and the problem disappeared. Could you please re-test on your rawhide box and report the results here?

ah, yeah, seems like all the status stuff is back now in current Rawhide.
