I see that a green (I assume its green - I'm color blind) blob has
appeared in the lower left hand corner of my screen. The tooltip invites
me to double click it to open progress view.

I have to say that this is an extremely wierd piece of UI.
Why is this particular view picked out as having its own blob?
Why isnt it a button?
How do I access it without a mouse?
Its not discoverable unless you happen to look down there.

Someone else may well answer your question, but I thought I could at
least contribute that the blob is, in fact, red. :)

Actually, it's orange, with a dark yellow (i.e. brown) border.

This view can be opened using the keyboard by selecting Window->View->Others
choice, and finding it in the tree of views.

This is an early prototype of a progress animation (like the snazzy
animations in the upper right corner of a web browser indicating that it
is still loading). Based on initial experiences this progress UI is
being changed for M7 (probably no longer opening a view, and probably
with some affordance to tell you how to get more details).
