[pve-devel] [PATCH manager 1/5] Add a "Run task in background" button to make users feel safer

[Emmanuel Kasper]

It is not oobvious when closing a Task Window, especially
one than popped up from itself ( template download, or backup), that
closing will not interrupt the action.

Instead of leaving the user in doubt, a "Run task in background button"
let the user work with the rest of the UI while the task runs.

Idea taken from the Eclipse IDE update manager, and multiple Video/Music
encoders which have similar buttons.
