Uh ... not sure about this one. You try to manage two (or more) elements on a screen here. Sounds like a job for a (mediating) owner's layout policy. This proposal sounds rather brittle for the intended effect.

We should tackle this issue of overlapping pop-up stuff after the 5.3 release.

Best,

change the default position for progress bars to slightly below the center of the screen. This should at least help with cases where a notifier/conformer/informer pops up during a large package load and gets hidden behind the progress bar morph.
The Rectangle method should probably be moved back to Graphics-Primitives but by including it here we can avoid the potential for a dNU whilst loading this.
