[Interest] QProgressDialog

[Constantin Makshin]

That behavior looks reasonable to me -- the dialog must tell the system to
redraw it, but doing that with an unchanged dialog would be waste of time.
And obviously one can't change value of an indeterminate progress
bar/dialog as it doesn't have any value at all. :-)

Also the case when both minimum and maximum are both set to zero is
mentioned in QProgressBar's description and I'm not sure it's really
necessary to duplicate that information for QProgressDialog which is built
on top of QProgressBar.
