And by using a button instead of a checkbox anonymous login could be 
done with 1 click instead of 2 (asuming default is unchecked).

Automatic logout when all windows showing stuff on the server have 
been closed (maybe after an additional timeout). But as long as there 
are server windows open, connection should be kept. If the connection 
is lost, a message could be displayed inside the Nautilus window (better 
than having to deal with additional message boxes).

Nautilus can't have a logout button or command (at least not in spatial mode). 

BTW, are ther any plans to add progress bars next to icons for 
downloads/transfers?
