Music, Images, OtherFiles etc like Spotlight and Holmes

Yes, I have some plans for that, but it will require a fair bit of work. But in time both deskbar and barracuda will benefit from it.

Right now I'm just doing it "the easy way". With time I'll do it properly with GdkPixbufLoaders and the whole shebang. Release early  - releaseoften, as they say ;-P
