 Pidgin does not remove partial file (msn protocol - other protocols
 untested atm)

 Pidgin saves the file with its actual name to the location that the user
 specifies. Unlike other programs, pidgin does not use /tmp until the file
 is complete. The name of the file on the desktop does not offer any
 indication that it is partial. Removing a partial/canceled file does not
 remove the partial file. User is not properly notified of status of
 download.

 Steps to reproduce:
 Connect to msn
 Get a buddy
 Attachment sent from buddy
 You accept attachment
 Buddy cancels file mid way
 Partial files are still kept instead of being automatically removed
 (clicking remove does not delete the partial or propose to delete the
 partial)
