Other than lack of decorations the 'popup' window seems to solve the

Unresponsive UIs, with no progress indication and no Cancel button,
are a horrible, horrible thing. Your users will despise you.
You can still fork your app to have the main work run in another
process, and communicate progress info to the other process, so allow
pulsing a progress bar and watching for the user to hit a "Cancel"
button. The subprocess is preferable to a thread here because the
cancel action can be simply "kill $child".
