Asynchronous file transfers with Gnome::Vfs

[Matthias Kaeppler <nospam digitalraid com>]

Hi,

I was wondering if the functions defined in Gnome::Vfs::Transfer run 
asynchronously by default? I need this kind of behavior to keep the GUI 
from locking while transferring files, so I first thought about putting 
them into boost::threadS, but then soon realized that this wouldn't help 
if I want to cancel the transfer while in progress.

So, does anyone know how to realize concurrent, abortable transfers 
using Gnome::Vfs?

Thanks in advance.
