Looks good to me. We should probably install it in a nautilus specific
directory and add that to the icon search path with
gtk_icon_theme_append_search_path like dobey shows at 
http://wayofthemonkey.com/index.php?date=2006-11-15&month=11&year=2006

That way we won't be putting icons all over the place. Sounds like a
good idea to me.

Sure.

Well. Some people do still use it, even if its quite an antique
implementation. There has been some ideas how to do a generic preview in
a good way, but thats never gotten anywhere. So, lets not remove this
yet.

Yeah, that would be nice.

Don't ask me about colors and stuff. :)
