please add a multi-column view like the one in Konqueror

Currently Nautilus provides only 'View as List' and 'View as Icon', both are very inconvenient when dealing with larger collection of files. The first shows to much details on each file and not enough files on one screen, so one has to scroll. The second one doesn't show any detail once one has zoomed out so that enough files are visible. I personally find it also much more convenient to have the filenames beside the icon/thumbnail and not below them, especially when the icon has the same height as the filename.
A nice way to prototype something like this would be to implement it as a view component. That's why Nautilus has the component architecture. Anyway, the list view itself needs a lot of improvement and we should consider adding other views too.
