Hmm... actually, I think I would be okay with that... instead of 
"container types", we end up having just different states of window 
within container. So +1 to everything else that I didn't leave comments.

Any luck with the editing?

Well I guess I should say you have the tabs, however those are 
implemented :-). Not "child titlebar" as such, but...

What does minimize do in GAI? (More to the point, how do you get a 
minimized window back? Hmm... same way as minimized window now, use task 
bar or switcher?)

Which current behavior would that be?

Not sure about that, my current inclination is still to avoid task bar 
if possible for GAI. And I suppose for TAI, since tabs would replace the 
need. (Though conversely, the panel makes tabs unneeded...)
