Technically, no, but what do we name the containers otherwise? (Naming 
desktops isn't required either, but is evidently useful in some cases. 
Oh, look... naming desktops is just an instance of naming containers in 
NWI. Yay!)

I fully expect that, for organizational purposes, I will do things like 
name my GAI container "photo indexing". Makes things easier to find in 
task lists. (This would be particularly useful for saving layouts, I 
would guess.)

Yes, that was the idea.

That too :-). (The alternative is put container type in a sub-menu of 
the 'create container' menu item. So the proposal is to skip this; you 
either must change it in dialog or get a default type, probably same as 
the last type created.)
