what?
I don't see anything confusing about applets having borders, and I don't 
understand what that has to do with icons.

it's possible right now. it's called a "containment". folderview will be a 
containment sooner or later. you're free to write your own containment if you 
like. :)

now it sounds like you're re-implementing applets inside of applets. this is 
part of what applets are *for* - having lots of things on your desktop 
instead of just one. I'm not sure why you're trying to avoid that...

if you want to implement something like that, go right ahead. :)

I think having a bunch of folderviews (and other applets) would be much more 
flexible, though.
