This idea sounds good in two directions. 

1. They could be used to watch/view logs, files, streams, etc.
2. They could be used as hooks for scripts or other programs to provide
a "generic" back-end interface to the gnome-vfs layer and then provide
actions based on output. Sort of a pipe, but in the vfs layer, to cause
some automated X console action to occurr.
