visual warning for "deletion in progress"?

Archives->delete archive
Once I select an archive to delete (and press "Yes" in the confirmation), there's a line in the log at the bottom of the screen, but nothing else. Since the deletion can take a few seconds (even with my tiny test-archives; from reports on the mailing list, it can take much longer for larger "real" archives), the user might think that nothing happened and try deleting the archive again.
It would be great if there was some visual notification in the list... for example, the background of that row could be dark grey, or the archive name could be lighter grey. Or perhaps even replace the "2.59 MiB Tuesday..." info with a "(deletion scheduled)" ?
I was planning to turn the items queued for deletion in the list disabled, but now I think changing the detail text would be more self explanatory.
Please take a look at the change above, now I both disable and change detail text. The first is important since it disables further actions on the items to be deleted. If you agree that this is the way to go you can close this issue.
You've disabled the "info" button, but double-clicking on that archive still brings up the details.
Fix confirmed.
