This sounds like a great plan, and would "clean up" the UI in a good way. (No?
Not funny? Alright, no more puns.) I see one major problem though, even before
this is implemented. What if a user, such as myself, disables the auto-cleanup
feature, but the Downloads section becomes populated with many completed
downloads that have already been acknowledged? There will be no way to clear
the Downloads list, short of exiting and restarting gPodder, entirely.

It might also seem strange for a user, especially one who is new to gPodder, to
see a handful of completed downloads suddenly vanish after "switching" to the
Downloads tab. If clicking on the Downloads tab triggers the "cleanup" event,
there might be a short delay, in which the user might notice that "something"
happened, but he's not entirely sure. "Did some things just disappear? Were
those errors? Were those completed downloads? Did those get canceled?"

I hope this feedback helps.
