While trying to understand how to add a new interface, I grep'd for
'ScrollPositionable' in nautilus/libnautilus and these are the files I
get:
nautilus-scroll-positionable.c
nautilus-scroll-positionable.h
nautilus-view-component-common.c
nautilus-view-component.h
nautilus-view-component.idl
nautilus-view-component-skels.c
nautilus-view-component-stubs.c

Out of those, the helpful files seem to be nautilus-view-component.idl
and nautilus-view-component-stubs.c. Everything else is a bit
difficult to understand.
Any advice on which files I should be looking in, or some
documentation I can read?

Thanks!
