On Wheezy, when I copy files with Konqueror, I get a nice progress bar. On SuSE, I get a "text box" that sequencially lists the files being copied but there is no information about progress - neither graphic nor text.
I think this is the same "problem" I ran into last year. Have a look here http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::11832
