[Bug 1466479] Re: "Searching for available drivers..." gives no indication of progress

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

I just discovered that the code already includes a progress bar:

        self.label_driver_detail = Gtk.Label(label=_("Searching for available "
                                                     "drivers..."), **props)
        self.box_driver_detail.add(self.label_driver_detail)

        self.progress_bar = Gtk.ProgressBar()
        self.box_driver_action.pack_end(self.progress_bar, False, False, 0)
        self.progress_bar.set_visible(False)

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any code that makes that progress
bar visible.

Anyway, specification updated.
