when FTman is open (and active) no infobar is shown

I think that displaying it as a tab in a non-tab-centrical environment may 
appear confusing;
Opera *is* tab-centrical :)

yep, maybe

IMO having one infobar per transfer per contact would be ok.

* Having tabs disabled, each window would have its own group of infobars 
(maybe with right click options to cancel, pause or whatever you can do with 
it; ffox has click-to-toggle/untoggle pause);

* if tabs are enabled clicking on a tab would update the infobar with 
contact's own transfers

WLM actually stops here (ok, no "infobar" there, it's just an inline 
widget), you may now want to add the DM; this may show up on demand, right 
clicking on the infobar or clicking on a "you have N transfers open" link 
right on the infobar, or whatever...

Or... well I don't know guys :D just a stream of thoughts...


bye :)
