I looked at the nautilus code for the first time last night, and I think it could be implemented fairly simply. Basically:
- add a listener for drag and delete events
- get the size (nautilus-cd-burner.estimate_size())
- print the size to the statusbar (nautilus-window.nautilus_window_set_status()).

I would suggest that people look at the serpentine UI. While not
perfect, it goes a long way towards showing what the user wants and
little more.
