I would expect the transfers to be handled by an external "daemon"
process, so that it can do some necessary UI stuff, such as asking for
authentication, displaying a progress dialog, and interacting with the
notification area. And then, there would be another "front-end" process
which could interface with the backend daemon and display a list/tree
view of what is queued up, in progress, etc... The library would just
be a convenience method for using the IDL interface I guess?

I haven't had a chance to do anything yet, but if you wanna talk a bit
more about how to handle this before I start, I'd be glad to.

Where does typical non-list chat about g-n take place? There doesn't
seem to be a #gnome-network IRC channel.
