In general (i haven't thought this through), i'd like there to be only one 
source for listview models in nautilus. Probably one with just one column 
that had the NautilusFile in it, and then you'd use 
gtk_tree_view_column_set_cell_data_func() to get the data from the 
model/nautilusfile to the cellrenderer/column.

You would just call nautilus_file_get_model() or something.

That way we would have very little duplication, and doing various sorts of 
lists would be pretty simple.
