+1 to both, though i'm a little anxious to see how cleanly ToolTipManager will 
work ...

i actually really like the idea that all aplets are popup applets. merge the 
logic and API and forget about the difference. if you don't want the 
iconification, then you don't set a minimum size and/or don't hit that minimum 
size. thoughts?

i would not be surprised if we end up with at least a View interface that gets 
implemented. Wallpaper usage, for instance; that could be moved to Containment 
if we limit ourselves "forever" to 1-view-per-containment

in Applet the main use case seems to be for screenRect and mapTo/FromView. we 
should see where that is actually used and then decide how to handle that.
