Looks better, but some of this is problematic. Functions run via async jobs
are run in a thread, and if they access the UI you can get random gtk aborts
since it may collide with the main thread. So basically any UI interaction
needs to be deferred outside of the async job function.

I suggest moving all those get_config calls to _start_install. If we are
creating a container store all the values in a tuple called bootstrap_args,
otherwise use None or an empty tuple, and pass it to _do_async_install. If the
tuple was passed, async_install will invoke
self._create_directory_tree(asyncjob, *bootstrap_args)

This is another place where we are touching the UI from the async thread.
Instead do this to push it to the main thread

def cb():
    self.widget("install-oscontainer-bootstrap").set_active(False)
self.idle_add(cb)

Is this double except: block actually catching anything? I think just the
first two lines are sufficient

Thanks,
