The reason why the render dialog stays there is to stop the user do anything else while rendering since, while rendering, you can't modify a timeline.

As for removing the window when the rendering is finished... I was more thinking of changing the [Render][Cancel] buttons to making [Render] unsensitive(grayed) and changing [Cancel] to [OK]

The main window should probably be clearly 'faded' or something like that while this dialog is there to make it 100% clear that you are not supposed to be able to use the main window during rendering. Ideally I would prefer that rendering happened as part of the main GUI instead of as a separate dialog.

The dialog box now has a [Close] Button by default. When you press on render, it changes to [Cancel], and when the rendering finishes, it switches back to [Close].

Also, the mainwindow becomes grayed when that dialog box is visible.

	* pitivi/bin.py:
	Fixed recording for tee -> identity conversion/hack.
	We remove audio/video sink when encoding and put them back when finished.
	* pitivi/playground.py:
	added debug for position signal emission.
	* pitivi/ui/complextimeline.py:
	don't send a negative frame value to toplayer's timelinePositionChanged
	* pitivi/ui/encodingdialog.glade:
	Better order for buttons.
	Cancel button becomes close button.
	* pitivi/ui/viewer.py:
	Grey-out (set_sensitive()) the main window when the encoding dialog is showing.
	Lots of fixes with the EncodingDialog:
	_ Close button becomes cancel when encoding
	_ Show Time Left in progressbar
	_ Use playground's 'position' signal
