libseahorse: Fix regression where progress window is not shown

We were unreferencing the progress window incorrectly before
the task it was tracking was actually done.
Comment 2 Stef Walter 2014-07-31 20:57:57 UTC 
Federico, could you test the above patch? I believe this fixes the regression. The resulting progress dialog is rather clunky ... but it's there.
Comment 3 Tong Hui 2015-01-22 18:00:51 UTC 
Still no progress..

I running it in Fedora 21, install it from yum.
Comment 4 Thomas Leberbauer 2015-09-14 14:50:44 UTC 
I believe this is still an issue. I'm using 3.15.90 on Ubuntu 15.04.
Comment 5 Bayard Randel 2016-05-29 21:37:24 UTC 
This is still an issue in version 3.18.0 (the version distributed with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). This is particularly bad on a VM, as given the lack of entropy the process is very slow and the user may incorrectly assume the key generation has simply failed.
Comment 6 Andreas Heinlein 2017-07-11 08:50:48 UTC 
Issue still exists in 3.20, contained in Debian 9. When generating 4096 bit keys, I've seen slow machines taking ~5 minutes for key generation, so this is really an issue.
