Why not kill the monster, or maybe just tame it somewhat.
Couldn't you use evfs for the back-end stuff? Have an e17 module
with plugins that would do the graphical front-ends for whatever
evfs plugin type you want to support?
That would seem like it could save a lot of work/code
duplication -- and would potentially give you the back-end support
for the various fs types that evfs already supports.. and also
provide back-end support for things like the "trash can" - something
that e17 will eventually want.
You could even define new .desktop file types, namely types
like say "vfs:some-protocol", which would provide a url as a target.
Clicking on such an icon would then use evfs to read that target and
the associated e17 module-plugin would display/handle it accordingly.
This would effectively give the desktop-shell (e17) much the
same capability as certain file-managers, except that the primary
interfacing is done initially via desktop icons.
