ah, yes, that's important.

those two things (close window and show windows) could be separate?

a "tabbed browser" approach might also work where each running app appears as 
a tab entry at the top next to newspaper and search; but then we run into the 
usual task bar space issues. hm.. no, pretend i never said that ;)

ah, yes. what i meant is that the handles should make the widgets "jiggle 
around" Inside the layout (like the notifications icon in the systray used to 
do to the panel)
