ok

I never looked at gaim :) something like a download manager ? that would
be ok...

   Connecting to Yahoo...
   [           ---          ]
   Connecting to AIM...
   [       ---              ]
   Sending $File to $Contact...
   [----------------        ]
   
etc
what do you think ?

in fact it would not require so much modifications i think -
progress_window_new() and _close() only would have to add or remove a
widget to a bigger window (opened at first progress added, closed when
last is removed).

Comments ?
