Public bug reported:

1) Add contact.
2) Touch '+' to add a picture.
3) Select a data source (gallery, camera, file manager, etc).
4) Slow swipe from right to show all running apps windows.
5) Observe an app window that has a spinner on a white dialog background with 
text "Transfer in progress" along with a cancel button.

Presumably (5) is somehow connecting the address book and the data
source (file manager say), like an Android Intent, but do we really need
to see this app window? The answer currently seems to be "sometimes":

- If I select gallery as the data source in (3) the top of the gallery
window shows a cross which, if clicked, closes both gallery *and* the
"Transfer in progress" window. So for gallery, the "Transfer in
progress" seems entirely redundant.

- If I select file manager as the data source in (3) the top of the file
manager window does not show a cross so the way to abort the "attach
image to new contact" operation seems to be to click cancel on the
"Transfer in progress" window (or just close the file manager).

The above suggests that all the data sources should support the
interface that the gallery seems to. That way, this confusing Transfer
window can die.
