Comment 2 for bug 435380

I also wanted this feature, so I've written some code to provide a pause/stop feature in the GUI (not the notification area). This was tested on Ubuntu 10.04 so I don't know if it will run on other platforms. Hopefully the developers can take a look at it and include it in BiT if its suitable.

Attached are the updated and new files and a list of the diffs against the existing files of 0.9.99.35
