I checked in the generic part of this, and an image property page. The 
image page is pretty lame right now, but i wanted to get it in as an 
example. Later i'll spice it up a bit and add libexif support to it so 
that you'll get nice data for your photos.

As i said before. The music info view should go in MonkeyMedia.

Michael said on irc that changing the view creation to use the async 
NautilusView control activation functions might be good. He also suggested 
that maybe we should use plain Bonobo components instead of NautilusViews, 
which might make sense.
