In an RCP app with the ProgressIndicator in the StatusBar is turned off.  If 
you use the progress dialog to show a job's progress (via 
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getProgressService().showInDialog(shell, job)) and 
the job has an exception or the user presses "Run in Background", it causes 
the following:


java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.ui.internal.progress.ProgressManagerUtil.animateUp
(ProgressManagerUtil.java:328)

org.eclipse.ui.internal.progress.ErrorNotificationDialog.initializeBounds

A simple check in ProgressMonitorUtil.animateUp() to check whether the 
ProgressRegion is null should fix this.
