	Ok; so it looks like you need to add a number of CORBA interfaces to
nautilus; and use James H's new ORBit2 python work - which is rather
good I believe.

	This should be particularly easy to add; so far the Shell interface has
only:

	interface Shell : ::Bonobo::Unknown {
		void open_windows (in URIList uris, in string geometry);
		void open_default_window (in string geometry);
		void start_desktop ();
		void stop_desktop ();
		void quit ();
		void restart ();
	};

	But that can easily be expanded; I'd poke there.

	HTH,
