Hmm, a couple of questions:

- how does this look with progress that doesn't/can't use percentages
- can we remove the progressbar in the status area and replace it with just
  a busy indicator
- how much work is it to make this into a jobtrackerinterface connected to
  runcontroller::registeredjob so all jobs are automatically added
- does the overlay automatically hide when moving the cursor out of it, or
  just when clicking anywhere else in the gui

I didn't have a really close look at the implementation, but one thing I
noticed that I didn't like very much: It doesn't use model/view, but
instead kinda implements its own model/view (as far as I could see).
