hmm, don't know, maybe just a few accessibility additions to
Bonobo/Control, as Bill said.

But I think using the Bonobo/PreviewControl in the bonobo_get_object
call can be at least used to clearly specify that what you want is a
preview control, and not a normal control. Thus, the moniker
implementation can choose on how to generate the returned interface (a
zoomed thumbnail, a summary of the document, etc).
