Eh. I really hate windows that appear and disappear quickly, and that's what'll end up happening with a download under a couple of megs. What if Camino could leverage Quartz in such a way that the download manager window would appear, and then when it's done, instead of flashing gone instantly, it faded out? It doesn't serve a /functional/ purpose, but it would probably feel a lot better then POP and GONE.
