Sorry for being late to the party:

UX issues I have with that implementation:
- No transition, the windows just disappear (would be cool to have them slide out of the screen or have them stay at the edges of the screen like OSX does it, but that's visuals)
- Cannot access plasmoid or containment config windows (or GHNS in widget explorer) - they don't appear in that mode, nor do they exit it
- KRunner exits this mode, imho KRunner should be usable from there (usability?)
- Panels inaccessible (though usability even proposed hiding them in Dashboard mode, so..)

Other than that this would 100% replace my Dashboard usecase, so +1 for the overall idea.

Usability team, ping?
