it needs to be added to the panel as well, though... this probably means some 
re-org of where/how the AppletBrowser itself is managed; at least now it 
isn't in libplasma, that's step one.

yes, and it should be able to do so already.

well, you can always right click for that, but yes .. this is one of the 
buttons that is supposed to be on the hover interface. Adam Treat was (is, 
hopefully?) working on this.

correct; the desktop view needs to zoom out but stay anchored on (0,0) so that 
panels don't show up. the zooming hasn't been updated to reflect the change 
to Containment

no; needs to be investigated.

probably, yes. i just haven't gotten around to touching any of the SK support 
stuff recently.
