 I don't quite understand how does this GTK pulse progress bar look, is it
just a normal progress bar with the indicator bouncing back and forth? If
this is the case, then this corresponds to Win32 progress bar control with
PBS_MARQUEE style. But this style is only supported in XP so we still need
a generic version.

 Also, Mac has indeterminate progress bars which seem to be used for the
same purpose:

Moreover, they also have a rather nice control called asynchronous progress
indicator (illustrated on the same page). The main advantage of this one is
that it can be used in conjunction with other controls easily, e.g. you
could have a wxFlexGridSizer with wxStaticTexts in the first column and
such controls in the second one.

 I'm not sure which control is the one mentioned there but I can say that
CCS_NOPARENTALIGN is irrelevant.
