to make it even more condensed (since the discussion derailed a bit on other 
topics, that even tough interesting, deserve a separate thread, for 
readability), basically the points touched, and in need of feedback are:

* handles behavior: part of the global applet background, that grows on a side 
on mouseover: one visual element less if possible, makes less or more visual 
noise? has to be tested out

* repositioning of applets according to a grid: ~40px size has been tested 
seems small enough, will be made configurable (*just in the testing phase* 
will be dpi based afterwards)

* applet "ghost" behavior: it may be valuable information or maybe too noisy: 
also that will have tunable opacity (from 0) in test phase

* is acceptable giving behavior configuration options in testing phase and 
taking them back afterwards? *even that* should be done carefully
