the constraintevent is a virtual that in applets can be reimplemented to 
manage a bunch of events at once, out of my mind are:
-size
-formfactor: is it planar (desktop) vertical or horizontal?(panels)
-location: in desktop, top, bottom, left...
-immutability: desktop locked/unlocked
those are the most important, i'm forgetting something?
