NautilusView is what you describe.  It is a bonobo control, with a defined interface for doing the extra stuff needed (like the throbber, navigation, etc).  When you embed a regular bonobo control in nautilus that also implements PersistFile or something (like eog), you don't get the throbber stuff (IIRC).  How is what you want different from this?
