When you exit the workbench the cancel button is always disabled. This is more 
problematic now that it is possible to see the running jobs in the dialog as 
there is nothing the user can do about it.

Nick can you explain why we need to do this?
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2003-11-25 14:15:56 EST 
We backed out of showing the jobs in this progress dialog.
Cancel is disabled because it's not possible to back out after disposing 
resources etc.

Is it possible for the system to block with this dialog up due to background 
jobs?
Comment 3 Tod Creasey CLA 2003-11-25 14:26:48 EST 
If you exit during a job that locks the workbench then you currently have to 
wait for it to finish before the workbench shutdown starts. If you are in this 
state it is useful to be able to cancel these jobs to let the workbench beging 
the shutdown.

Consider for M6.
Note that currently the save runs in the UI thread, though I don't see any good 
reason for this.

While on this subject, I've noticed that on Linux GTK, the "X" button to close
the progress dialog is enabled during shutdown.  The user can currently close
the progress dialog in the middle of workspace save. I suspect this doesn't
actually affect the save operation, but it means there will be no more progress
during shutdown.

Reassigning bugs in component areas that are changing ownership.

Prakash is now responsible for watching bugs in the [RCP] component area.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
