There are some issues in python-dbus it appears, which can occasionally
cause nautilus to crash, and python-nautilus is not in main. Rewriting
in C lets us remove both of these dependencies from the extension,
preventing the crashes, and avoiding requiring more space on the CD. So
in short, rewriting it in C will help us kill several birds with one
stone, and we'll be much closer to being in main and on the CD for
Karmic.
