applet browser: laying out the applet icons

[Ivan Čukić]

Not concerning myself with 'whether one-line is good or not' I just have a few 
possible issues I wanted to tackle yesterday.

This is something I expected - we mentioned it yesterday. So, no complaints 
here.

The main problem I have with panel-pab is that I see no way to add widgets to 
the desktop area below the pab. Possible solutions would include
 - fading (like it was planned for the last mockup) or even close when the 
drag'n'drop goes out to the desktop
 - zoom out the desktop a bit so that it fits the rest of the screen
 - something else?

As you've mentioned, this could prove to be problematic for vertical panels. 
Any thoughts on that?

BTW, since we are planning to integrate browsing of the shared Pinda's network 
applets, and GHNS applets into the pab itself, we'll need some kind of 2-level 
categories or something...
