do not use progress bar as capacity indicator in the status bar (minor)

The issue is I am used (and it is the purpose of it) that progress bar a dynamic widgets -- it shows the "action", not "information" (static). Quite a lot of apps use it in this way in statusbar too (KDevelop for example).

With Dolphin, after start I always wait for progress to "stop loading", I cannot help it, because it is a progress so I (conciously or not) wait for 100%.

Please do not reuse progress bar like that -- at least change the color, in such way that it would a guarantee it won't be mixed with real progress bar.

But I would rather suggest something different also in shape. Even like this

* * o o o o o o

* filled circle
o circle

it cannot (?) be mixed with progress bars.
