that's what we (almost) have now - activities, in today's trunk, aren't very 
much more than sets of widgets. the view-per-virtual-desktop code has no gui, 
though, and I haven't tried it myself. but that's what it's supposed to be 
like when it's done, afaik.

hmmmmm.
we do have plans for *plasmoids* to do cool stuff like that.
we don't have plans for *applications*
...but that sounds kinda cool. I don't really know if it's workable either, 
but I don't see why not... of course practically all the work would have to be 
done on the applications, many of which haven't even finished porting 
themselves to kde4... but it'd be a nice thing to see someday, I think. :)
