* it never shows up, even when loading 17MB 8000x8000 JPEG files in
VirtualBox,
* it creates a useless BWindow and thread for each open window, so if you
open 100 windows at once, you get 200 threads in ShowImage for no benefit.
IMO it should just be removed in favor of a progress bar in the image
window, or a barber pole à la Tracker.
