I don't recognise what you're seeing, but we'll try making that window appear in the taskbar in future, and see if that helps. Could the "Skydemon offline" be configured please? At my home computer I don't care how much bandwidth it's using, and often have the window open for long periods of time. The prompt is comparatively annoying - maybe an option "take offline after... minutes" or sth similar could be introduced?

So I click on the documents, the popup window opens, and I slowly go through the various docs I want to read. A few times, skydemon was 'hanging' when I came back to the document browser. Whatever I do, windows beeps at me as the window is not active. I think what happens is that skydemon tried to open the 'are you still there?' popup, that failed (at least I don't see it), but the document window, and the main skydemon window both refuse all input (my guess: because the AYT-popup took the input away) . alt-f4 is also not working. When I open the taskmanager to stop SD, and restart, everything is back to normal.
