It hasn't begun yet. I'd like to see it happen as soon as possible.

There are a few different issues:

    1) I plan to review the changes as they are merged, so this will take 
some of my time.
    2) The changes need to be "stable" and "ready" from the point of view 
of the hackers at Red Hat before merging. This probably means waiting 
until Red Hat has released Nautilus with the changes in it -- ironic, 
since my review could help them spot mistakes in those changes!
    3) I *really* want these changes rolled in before we start to port 
Nautilus to GNOME 2, and I'd like to start doing that relatively soon.

I would even like any Red-Hat-specific hacks in the master sources too, 
with ifdefs around them, but I'm not sure about whether others in the 
community think this is a good idea.

I'm basically looking to Havoc to make the call.
