Maybe I was a bit unclear here; I'm "always" doing other stuff while
the/any download proceeds in the background. I'd still like to be
notified(sp) about it having finished, in a sane manner - so I can go on
typing (or whatever)...
NOTE THE PROBLEM: Do not pop up an ACTIVE dialog; I would be typing on the
keyboard, thus possibly ruining it all.
