Nautilus is deeply frozen and we need to look at fixing the worst bugs.

We generally don't check in stuff until they've passed a full review. Some
really large changes are done in cvs on a branch before they are reviewed, 
but I'm not sure that is needed for this change.

cvs write access you mean?
I'm not sure what the procedure is for that. Look at developer.gnome.org.

This should be under /apps/nautilus yes. And the key needs to have a 
better name then just "uris".

Yes, correct gconf handling is important. We often get changes from other 
processes (such as the control-center).
