Wow! This make me feel that common feeling of "4.10 is not yet released and 
I'm already waiting for 4.11" xD

I really like the merge of the grid into the the desktop containment, doing it 
by hand is hard specially when you have to do pixel perfect aiming.

Showing the frames when unlock is a HUGE improvement, I have some ideas on how 
I'd like lock/unlock to be, but for avoiding past mistakes let me ask first... 
:p

How do you envision "Plasmoid management" ?
	-When a user wants to add/remove/move a plasmoid?
	-How many times it is done? And in what time frame?
	-Does SLC add a plasmoid when something is connected to the Activity? Or 
that's specific to Active?
	-How much do we want to promote plasmoids into users?
		-As an example for this, to we want to be like netvibes, google/ig, etc? 
(kinda the newspaper view in netbook).

Cheers!
