Ah, okay. 

But why do we need a separate progressbar for the session restoration? Is this 
extra information really needed or could we just replace it with another icon 
in the icon list?

IMHO the user just wants to see that the computer is still doing something and 
not if the computer completed 10% or 90% of the session restoration.
