But this is not windows and this is just the sort of thing that Nautilus
could end up adding for just text, ps and pdf files that would be very
nice.  Nautilus=Graphical shell and print option equals the simple lpr
<file> via graphical means.  Nice.

I hope it works out because Nautilus controls so much of the look and
feel of the desktop and it would be very nice to acknowledge this and be
able to change the options directly from the Control Panel.

I can only conclude that you mean that your plugin support from the
Galeon2 view works right.  It acts flaky for me giving me crashes on
pages where Galeon2 works very nicely, especially for java stuff or
flash animations in particular.  Otherwise though the Galeon view is
brilliant in rendering pages and such.
