I must say I agree with alexg on the console: backend. But I didn't 
comment when it was proposed, beacuse I didn't care much (won't be using 
it).

Also, the uri-scheme is a bit strange. A uri is supposed to be a 
location of an object, not something that differs for each process that  
resolves it. And what will nautilus do if someone typed console:///stdin 
in the location bar? Will it even work?
