Just a probably rather stupid question/suggestion;

wouldn't be such things ideal for either

a) different desktop-containments (probably even by allowing to put one 
desktop-containment over another and allow that way to "overwrite" specific 
functionality while preserving the (not overwriten) functionality of the 
underlying "base" desktop-containment. Probably even allowing 
a "super-configurable desktop-containment" additional to a "only basic 
things" one

or

b) scripts! :)
Scripts, in whatever language, could be distributed via GHNS (no GUI-option 
needed) to implement specific functionality and extend that way e.g. the 
desktop-containment with whatever crazy idea someone has how his very own 
desktop should behave. That way there is no UI-clutter too except a probably 
rather large GHNS-list of crazy things to turn the (desktop-)containment into 
an alien that looks human (excludes Alf and E.T. which are handled by another 
script)

well, just my 2 cent before the next reporter asks for being able to turn that 
off ;)
