it seems to me that Sun's ProgressMonitor is a somewhat weak
implementation of a decent idea. why is it so hard to get a PM to do --
well, to do almost anything at all?
i have a spot in my app where i want a PM to monitor a thread. the PM
does in fact pop up, but not until AFTER the most time-consuming part
of the algorithm. so the algorithm churns away, then right at the end
before the thread exits, the PM pops up and stays open for a moment
while the end of the algorithm runs.
what i want is a PM that will pop up right away and will stay open
until the end. for some reason, these two calls do not work to that
end:
i must be missing something obvious here, right? how do i get a PM to
open immediately or almost immediately?

ps all these problems are after i worked around the serious bug in
Apple's ProgressBarUI implementation which results in a terrible memory
leak, by telling swing not to use Apple's UI plaf class.
