(1) is easy enough to do with Tracker (which is already similiar to EDS 
and is an sqlite/Dbus daemon) but it requires tracker to get into Gnome 
2.18 either as a package or as a dependency before we can use it in 
epiphany. We wont know the outcome of that until end of January so yeah 
2.20 would be the earliest. (Tracker can be used a stand alone metadata 
server without any indexing so it wont conflict with those that dont 
want an indexer or those that prefer to use Beagle for indexing)

(3) tracker can provide the stats/data for such a widget. Hopefully 
theres an existing graph widget from gnumeric that can be adapted for 
this purpose (column chart?)
