Also just brain dump from my side: not sure if this is possible at all but 
maybe instead of an application that has to be installed and run explicitly, 
have a pre-configured (or easy to setup) Plasma activity for gaming?

I think applications should still be able to work stand-alone. It also 
supports a different workflow, e.g. people used to other GHNS enabled 
applications might be looking for that from within games as well.
