there seems to be a difference between Linux DC++ and DC++ here; in DC++, a 
file list download appears in the "transfers" area just like other downloads 
and all the necessary information is available there.
hence, the new window would not have anything useful to provide that the 
"transfers" area, which is always visible, already shows.

in DC++ they will.

this is already implemented in ADC, as the "browse file list" function.
