The Gtk+ documentation says:

"Since 2.16, GtkEntry has the ability to display progress or activity
information behind the text. To make an entry display such information,
use gtk_entry_set_progress_fraction() or
gtk_entry_set_progress_pulse_step()."

Which should be what we're looking for. It should be easy to implement.

Can we effectively cancel a search ? Except for a complete package list,
it's rather fast anyway. If I remember correctly, rebuild_store() is
rather interruptible but the Gtk::TreeView sorting phase is not.
