Would it be at all feasible to expose nautilus shell functions in the
API?  It would be very useful if one could script some of these things
(like refresh) in a general case.  

One general thing I have noticed with bonobo-based programs that I hope
will change is that they don't seem to be taking full advantage of
bonobo.  If more generally-useful things had a public API, then cool
stuff can be done with scripting general desktop actions.  I don't know
if this is a problem with the current implementation of bonobo, or just
a factor of time and not-yet-stable interfaces.  But I would like to see
(Eventually, anyway) the ability to just pick up my favorite scripting
language to make fairly complex macros for myself.  Is this way off
base, or is it an existing goal?
