Not sure.  For reference, it's working for me with these rpms:
augeas-devel-0.3.6-1.fc10.i386
python-augeas-0.3.0-1.fc10.noarch
augeas-libs-0.3.6-1.fc10.i386
augeas-0.3.6-1.fc10.i386
augeas-debuginfo-0.3.3-1.fc10.i386

I had a go at looking up the text file and showing that in the UI.
Potentially could show diffs as well.

Is there any way to get at the precise region of the file corresponding
to a given node?  e.g. for "syntax" highlighting.
