IMHO, reload buttons should really /never/ be needed, esp. for local
filsystems -- a kernel-level filesystem notification system should
provide updates toall views of various directories or files.  The user
shouldn't have to worry whether the computer is giving an accurate view
of the current state :-P

I think this is rather limited in view -- we have this great component
system, we should take advantage of it.  It should definitely have a
preview pane (optional), but it should be ble to preview any type of file
that a viewer exists in the system.
