Oh i totally agree with you about code reuse. Right now there is a
technical issue with the properties dialog being dependent upon the fm,
so some refactoring would probably be needed as well. Also ideally it
would be nice to be able to view the current folder's properties in
nautilus as well (perhaps through the view menu, or if we refactored the
menus, through a folder menu).
