Thanks for the code and the commandline! As I kind of expected, the C version 
of the test also does not work on my machine (kubuntu).

After this test, I played around a bit and found some settings in the system 
configurations panel that's about GTK styles and fonts. There you can decide 
whether to "use my KDE style in GTK applications" or "use another style" and 
choose between "Qt" or "Raleigh". When I set it to "use another style" and 
select "Raleigh", the progress bar *does* pulse (of course, it's no more 
a "KDE" progressbar).

So it's now traced down to some KDE/GTK/theme interaction. Is there anything 
more I / we can do about it, or just file a bug? Is Kubuntu the only 
distribution allowing KDE styles for GTK applications? I'm not sure who 
should get the bug assigned -- kubuntu, kde or gtk...
I actually don't even know whether there's any KDE application with a "pulse" 
progressbar, or if they only use the "fraction" ones and it simply doesn't 
know how to pulse at all:)

Thanks,
ben
