Mhm, another problem spotted. Currently going from "Select language"
step to next step takes well over a minute (on 3 GHz CPU with 1GB of
RAM), during which Ubiquity looks frozen. If this is going to take this
much time, progress bar is needed, so that user's don't think it is broken.

I have noticed during that time there are many times "debconf-copydb" is
 running.

This happens with Ubiquity (KDE frontend) 0.99.79 and 0.99.78, installed
from packages on normal Dapper installation (not live CD).
With Gnome frontend it does not happen.

Shall I report a bug?
