putting inside the welcome widget is an example, and what I want to do
because I think it'd be cool.  My real reason is - why not?

This  opens up the potential for popupApplet+containments that you could
throw your favorite widgets inside to reduce desktop clutter, and have a
small icon in the panel to access it with.

I used the welcome as an example as that's all I've really worked on,
and I personally want my fav comics and maybe an rss feed to be
displayed inside it, and don't need the launchers (imo)  since there's
kickoff and lancelot.

I'm sure other devs could find uses for it too =)
