Right now we're spawning another process to do this, and I think an
integrated widget would be much nicer.

Thoughts?
Will be most interested in your idea to achieve cross-platform (which I presume are windows, MacOS, Linux/Unix), though the latter are pretty much based on a layer
above X.
  Definitely a+1 here.

Hooking this up on MacOS X would be easy -- all apps I've used there that have a print preview just generate a pdf (or ps?) and open it with Preview.app.

Basically the same as just launching evince on Linux, but of course you're more or less guaranteed to have Preview.app available on MacOS; not so much with evince on Linux. I'd love to see an integrated print preview on Linux, though, that doesn't have external dependencies.
