Ah yeah, this button was something I was planning as a workaround for 
the underling problem (Bug 727679). I probably shouldn't have left it 
in the UI since it doesn't currently do anything. Sorry about that!

A patch to make this button actually do something this would most 
definitely be welcome though. I had some kludgy patches in Bug 741186 
that attempted to automatically retry, but they had a race that I never 
tracked down which sometimes caused it to save endless copies - they 
might provide some inspiration however...

PS: Federico you sound like you could be a dev if you wanted to! ;)
