Agree, it would also move the "configure activity" button (which is currently 
in the Applet strip right in the center) out of the way, so an activity 
containment only has to care about its own specifics (but not things such as 
activity name or wallpaper). That's a good thing, as it leads to more 
consistent activity configuration (and the possibility to do it for those that 
don't have their own configure activity button at all).
