Is this UML? I'm not real familiar with the format . . .

All in all, I think it looks good, as best as I can read it. The only
detail I'd add would be increading the amount of info available via
ThunarFileInfo. I'd like to see support for extended attributes in,
say, an additional tab in the interface. You could consider splitting
up file info into that specifed by the user (permissions, extended
attributes), and those inherent to the object (like atime, mime type,
size).

For those of us playing at home, could you maybe clarify the diagram a bit?
