Disabling the button was only a workaround.Note that in the mean time we may need to fix this in choose-mirror after all by displaying a progress bar at this point.
Accessing the GdkWindow by a thread while the window is being updated by another thread in the gtk_main_loop() causes crashes, and this is the reason why i made the screenshot button disappear during a progress_xxx() call, in fact past experiments aimed at gaining exclusive access to the gdkwidow led to deadlocks between threads. Robert, did you press the button before the progressbar was displayed or were you able to press it while the progressbar was running?
