file-roller already works well when you 'open' an archive. Further
development on this could happen one of two ways (perhaps more, but these
are the immediate ones):

  1) gnome-vfs handling tarballs

  2) file-roller being turned into a nautilus view

It seems to me that the more interesting solution to put time into is 1.
