Its just text i'm sending to the screen. I used to use kdialog directly but when that stopped working, i was given qdbus as a replacement way of displaying text on the screen after logout so i can see progress. I can't find the original email where i was told about how to do it.
This is how i was doing it with "qdbus" 

dbusRef=`kdialog --progressbar "Starting Back up procedure" 4`
sleep 1
qdbus $dbusRef Set "Starting Back up procedure" value 1
rsync ......
qdbus $dbusRef Set "" value 1
qdbus $dbusRef setLabelText "1.4. Backing up /home/me/Documents"
