thoughts on control bar..
should be a containment always on top like a panel that contains 2-3 applets,
ve talked about a kind of tabbar that switches, betweenthe launcher, a widgets 
area, running application list etc...
so i was thinking (and half implemented) about a tabbar that switches between 
the available containments that are shown in the main view (heck this thing 
would be nice also in a desktop)
a problem i have for that is how to reliably retrieve the main fullscreen view 
and not pick the wrong one, like trying to switch the containment in a 
panel :)
