We are stuck on two things:
Show × Hide: logout status dialog does not display "anything useful" - on 
the contrary is a side effect of hiding
Process × Progress: logout status dialogue shows no progress, just the 
opposite process hides.

Therefore, we are still trying to find either the name for this dialog, or 
find the name for that process. Before you helped find a name for this 
dialog.
