Okay, I've just re-downloaded F@H, and it doesn't show my progress in the Display window? It just shows this fancy picture which I can grab and rotate at will. If I let my mouse hover over the icon in the system tray, though, it does show the progress. This normal? It wasn't like this with my previous client.

I'm pretty sure that's just the way it is for the display in the new client. I don't see any options in there to change anything for the display either.

Also, do I have to keep my net connected whle this runs, or can I disconnect it, and only connect when it needs to upload/download i.e when it finishes a WU?

You can disconnect while it works. You might want to set it to ask before it attempts to use the network so you'll get a message letting you know it needs access so it can send/receive work. You can set that in the connections tab in the F@H control panel.
