okay, that's not quite what this person is asking for as i understood 
it, but i could be wrong. yes, that is true enough, you can see now what 
file transfers you have offered, but you still can't _not_ send the 
offer to transfer it if you accidentally drop some file on a buddy. that 
is, the instant you drop it (allowing for cpu & network delays), even as 
the file transfer dialog pops up, a dialog pops up on your friend's 
screen asking if [s]he wants to accept the file.  ideally this wouldn't 
be the case. ideally, given the ease of accidentally dropping a dragged 
file on the buddy list somewhere, or in the conversation window for that 
matter, a dialog would pop up saying "You are about to transfer xyz to 
abc..." the sort of confirmation dialog people complain about, but in 
this case preventing people from accidents in a ui that, while popular, 
makes accidents easy.
