Having issue with pipelight

[maz-1]

pipelight use zenity to show a progress window when installing plugins
however qarma does not work right with it. The progress window keep forever and plugin installer won't finish
the command from ps -ef:
zenity --progress --title=Please wait, installing ... --text=Running wine-unity3d-installer --pulsate --width=400 --auto-close --no-cancel

Actually, that's exactly what the commandline says.
--pulsate is an infinite progress (the indicator just slides back and forth) and --auto-close doesn't seem to make much sense in this regard.

If you run that command with zenity, you'll simply get an infinitely running zenity dialog, so the problem will be how pipelight (or whatever ulltimately invokes it) attempts to close the dialog.

I guess you're symlinking qarma to zenity? What if you copy it there instead?

no , copy qarma to zenity won't work
by the way ,this is what I found in the installer script

progressbar()
{
WINDOWID="" zenity --progress --title="$1" --text="$2" --pulsate --width=400 --auto-close --no-cancel ||
WINDOWID="" zenity --progress --title="$1" --text="$2" --pulsate --width=400 --auto-close
}

DISPLAY="" "$WINE" wineboot.exe 2>&1 | progressbar "Please wait..." "Creating wine prefix"

So when the input stream ends up , the dialog box is expected to exit.
This should be the problem, qarma doesn't work in this way.

I tried
sleep 5 | qarma --progress --pulsate --auto-close --no-cancel
and
sleep 5 | zenity --progress --pulsate --auto-close --no-cancel

zenity exits, qarma won't.
