There have been some issue about vanishing of progress dialogs while importing or downloading caches (like #292)
Some occurrence of this is related to screen timeout.

Just today I had to import some GPX-files and I have seen, that in this case the import is paused if the screen times out and only continued after activating again. For this the progress dialog does not vanish at least.

Proposal:
For me it would make sense to keep the screen on during these operations, as the user expects that the operation is finished without pausing and also may want to see the progress. Secondly this could avoid any "vanishing" problems of the progress window if there are any of them left.
