better update progress indication

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Updating a great number of watches, or updating watches on a slow Internet
connection, can take a long time. We should display a progressbar widget to
give the user
- an idea of the remaining work for specto
- an indicator that the process is not frozen

What we need to implement comes in two parts:
1) list ALL the watches in the notifier window, BEFORE they start updating,
and "gray out" their names. That means, make the text label in the "Name"
column insensitive. The only actions that should be available in that
watch's information pane is "Go to". Other buttons would be dangerous and
should be available only after the watch was checked for updates.

#2) for each watch that is currently being checked for updates, display a
"refresh" icon in the "Type" column. This icon will most likely be taken
from Tango, I will provide it if needed. When the watch has finished
updating, reset the icon to normal, or, if the watch is flagged as updated,
reset the icon to the "updated" icon of the correct type.

This will be the first step towards providing better progress feedback.
This specification does not end here however, feel free to add ideas.

don't we?
