I tried GWNet a few months back and it didn't work.  Namely, I would
be able to go as far as connecting to a server, dragging a file into
GWorkspace, clicking "OK" when it asked me whether I wanted to
download, and then...

Nothing.

I just checked it out of CVS again and gave it another shot:

Same problem.  It doesn't appear to ever actually initiate a transfer.
 It just does nothing.  Also, there is some weirdness along the left
side of the window but that's probably just a fluke.
