One thing here. If you have a variable in your class named
progressbarwindow marked with the Glade.Widget attribute, like this:

	[Glade.Widget] Gtk.Window progressbarwindow;

The Autoconnect function will set that variable to the appropriate
widget. A brilliant time-saver.

Are you sure progress isn't null? Maybe the name it has in the glade
file got changed or something.
