Adding widgets to panel?

Hi,
I'd like to raise the question (again?) if it might make sense to allow users
to add widgets to the panel.
The disadvantage would of course be that we would have less control over it
and add a level of complexity to the UI. But I'm not suggesting to make it
freely configurable like in Plasma Desktop. That probably is not necessary.
But it might be useful in some cases to have at least one designated area of
the panel where widgets can be added. For example a user wants to constantly
monitor some aspect(s) of the system. She could of course add a monitor
plasmoid to every activity she uses, but that isn't such a good idea (since
contour's concept is to have many context-specific activities-right?). Or some
users might want to have a power-off-button on the panel or whatever.
So we might offer users a place on the panel to put additional widgets in (and
remove them from it), but not change the default widgets.
What do you think?
Regards,
Thomas
