Have you seen Growl for OS X?

There is also a page on our wiki about redesigning the

I do not underestand why Nautilus ties up two totally
different concepts in its zoom function: icon size and
amount of information displayed. If anything, the

there is more text in the label.
I filed a bug about this but I don't think I explained
it properly, as it has been ignored/
