I wouldn't like to have it set in a stone, instead leaving that given
apps. For example we have Kexi desktop and Kexi mobile. The latter is
not for Active. Even more, nobody can say some QML UIs will be just
for Active - they can be useful for the future desktop.

BTW, even if I have a dir for desktop and active, it'll be called
active, not uidesktop and uiactive; the reason is that shell users
like me prefer to avoid common prefixes :>

+1 for keeping everything what's app-specific in app's dir
