Some qt styles have a problem with displaying the block progress, as text on a segmented progress bar is terrible to read. This mostly affects older Windows, and some Linux distributions (which also use the windows/windowsxp theme).

Add a custom stylesheet as workaround, but only when one of those renderers is active, otherwise leave the theme alone (issue #1071).

After: @diapolo: can you test this on Windows 7 and see whether it stays as it is?

Roger that ... currently building.

Edit: No change in Win7, which is what you wanted!

Yep windows 7 should use the Vista rendering engine, which does not have the above-mentioned problem. Thanks for testing!

@sipa can you test that this also solves the problem in xubuntu?
