File Transfers in Shell Panel

[Jason Simanek <jsimanek gmail com>]

Hi,

I apologize if this is not the place to discuss the topic. Though 
originally a skeptic, I'm really impressed with the novelty and design 
of Gnome 3 and Gnome Shell. Thank you for all of your work!

The file transfer progress window has always bothered me. And the new 
Gnome environment only exaggerates its awkwardness. For the most part I 
really just want to know when the process is complete and I don't think 
a small window – even though it disappears when the process is complete 
– is the best solution.

Perhaps the Gnome desktop team already has a plan to improve this aspect 
of the user interface, but I wanted to share this mockup of moving the 
file transfer progress window into the shell panel in case it is useful:

Thanks for listening.
