You could get close to an icon view by using the largest size of icons.
They would be arranged vertically nonetheless. Maybe the gtk source
could be hacked to display the tree in multiple columns instead of just
one. That would give an even better icon view. OT, nautilus has a
*great* iconview and remaking what has already been done might not be a
good idea.

Besides the iconview, what else is included in the "nearly"?
