An alternate approach could be to have an additional button labled "Work in background" that would close the window but leave a small progress bar showing in a part of the application frame. Users could right-click on the bar to restore dialog and/or abort the process. Actually, this kind of facility should be made available to any other plugin as a framework option.

One thing that some Windows applications do well in this regard is they will modify their title bar text to reflect the progress level during lengthy operations. I.e. "digiKam - 34% complete" This allows users to work with other applications while still being able to monitor the progress of the app even if its minimized. Very handy.
