hi Gian,
really thanks for help, i hacked that example very ugly, as you see, that my
time consuming task is an atomic operation, it's an encapsulated method,
what I got is that after clicked some button, this model trick dialog
appears with two buttons, then execute button, for god sake, the progress
bar is staying frozen.. sigh I must do sth badly wrong, really have no idea

In that example in the big process (a simple sleep in this case) you
tell the main loop to go on with redrawing the GUI:
while gtk.events_pending():
gtk.main_iteration_do(False)
In the main time you don't want your users to interact with the
controls, so you do a grab_add to the progressbar which will became
the only widget on which you can do something.
It's a bit tricky but if you get the philosophy is quite simple, you
can also use a different approach using idle_add() which tells the
main loop to execute some work when it is in idle state.
btw without seeing some code is difficult to help.
cheers
