the danger here is that you'd end up with two interactive components on the 
"background". the containment is meant to provide the interactive layer, the 
wallpaper layer just a rendering. it can respond to clicks and what not, i 
suppose, but it should not need nor have the semantics of Applet which contain 
a number of assumptions about interaction and managemnt.

Marble could be used to paint the wallpaper; a Marble applet could also be 
used as your containment.

the only issue are people who want, e.g., "desktop icons" (fullscreen 
folderview) *and* something like a marble applet containment. there's a reason 
we're going away from fullscreen folderview as default.
