> more and more applications tries to run plugins in separate processes

you're comparing apples (web browser plugins delivering content) to oranges (a seamless, interacting desktop scene). amarok's out of process scanner is also something completely different.

besides the obvious graphical and interaction issues, you may also wish to consider the overhead of running each applet as its own process. not pretty.

> the more unskilled developers will code their own widgets

two things:

a) you don't need to run random bits of code
b) that's why we are encouraging them to use languages we can manage at runtime more effectively. eventually it will probably be necessary to build sandboxes around the scripting support for both feature and resource acccess.
