Well, honestly speaking I see more concerns than solutions :-)

So maybe we start slowly -- with GAI it was easy for me to grasp idea 
about task switching, arrangement, etc. because all that is already 
there, only not fully automatic.

So I ask you this:
a) let's say you already have organized TAI, something similar to 
Konq. TDI but each tab is distinct app, no other app is running -- is 
task switching is possible via the same alt+tab as usual? Or should 
switching within tab should be distinct from "normal" task switching?

b) can GAI container can be put (I ignore for the moment _how_) into 
TAI? 

c) can TAI container can be put into GAI?

Cheers,

PS. All I can say for the time that passed, that I miss GAI for 
sure ;-)
