While I agree that no containment can suit all applications, if we choose the 
way of implementing a different one for every app out there, we'll end up with 
totally different user experiences and a lot of code duplication.

From my point of view, some containment types like the /free layout/ (plasma-
desktop), newspaper - multi-column constrained (plasma-netbook) could be 
included in libplasma (or libplasma-extras :) )

A bit offtopic. But IMO you could benefit from switching to the newspaper 
containment at some point in the future* - you'd get multiple columns which is 
something I'm missing atm :)

* when it becomes more... finished ;)


Cheerio,
Ivan
