eh, i would love that ;)
maybe even in the activity dataengine?
(i had started a while ago to play to a different activity selector ui, but 
need it to make really pretty)

right now the hurdle in making that engine universal is that it needs a 
pointer to the containment (and its wallpaper()) to make it paint the 
thumbnail (since it may be also a wallpaper different from Image) so is a 
dataengine created directly by the shell by a custom pluginloader
