I think I should have put much more info in the cover-letter, sorry!

So, my goals is to move SpiceFileTransferTask to its own file but also
trying to make it less aware on how to the protocol works. I did not
fully achieved that in the end of the series as you can see,
spice_file_transfer_task_handle_status() is still a helpful function to
deal with the status of the file-transfer based on agent messages.

But regarding flushing data (the callback) and this file-info signal,
that was the solution I got at the moment...

You are right, it definitely can be improved. Taking a quick look on how
file-transfer actually works in the very beginning from protocol
point-of-view.

1-) (send) VD_AGENT_FILE_XFER_START needs file-name and file-size;
2-) (receive) VD_AGENT_FILE_XFER_STATUS_CAN_SEND_DATA and we can
    actually start the file-transfer

So:

I would like to take this approach, renaming the _start_task to
spice_file_transfer_task_query_info which is exactly what we will do and
we can remove the file-info signal to a proper callback to this
function.

PS: I tried to convince myself that the signal could be useful to the
Application but I really can't see how :)

I have also the intent to move the agent code in channel-main to its own
file like channel-main-agent or something. I would agree then that we
should export a way to queue agent msgs outside channel-main but for
other channels if that makes sense. I would love to discuss that at some
point :)

Many thanks, I don't plan to push any other patch till we got this thing
right, I hope to send a v4 in the next few days.
