 When I have a bunch of ShellCommand steps, looking at the
 build status early on is rather uninformative; it says
   1. shell
   2. shell_1
   3. shell_2

 Only after they complete is the description used, e.g.

   1. shell install_deps ( 31 secs )
   2. shell_1 configure ( 1 secs )
   3. shell_2 compile ( 0 secs )

 Calling self.step_status.setText(self.describe(step_status.isFinished()))
 in setStepStatus() seems to make the description show up when
 I want it.
