that's what Containment is. it would be nice to avoid long inheritance chains, 
so Containment contains code for various sorts of specific use cases. it also 
avoids people from having to figure out "which class do i inherit from?" and 
gives us the possibility of easily repurposing containments of one 
Containment::Type to another scenario; e.g. desktop containments -> 
medicenter or what-have-you.

it also looks a lot less strange to subclass Containment when the primary 
purpose is to be an Applet.

in this specific case, alignment, etc of applets is actually something that is 
a fairly generic concept that really does belong to the idea of "groupings of 
applets"
