Yes, it's a status bar. But the process displayed could run some hours: it's
the verification of an RAID >0 array. I'm testing with 200MB disks but users
may try VRAID with some 40GB disks...
When thinking about my specific use of a slider something like the windows
solution would be nice: display the percentage value as a number inside the
slider. Is there source code how to subclass a slider to build such a beast?

Genius! That's it, I've added 3 spaces and the last zero is now located
directly above the tick mark. Just like the value "0".
