you've just described exactly what PMC will be. :) it can be used as: * a media center augmentation to Plasma Desktop or Netbook. in this case, it runs as a full-screen app and "takes over" the computer's display and interaction while running. kind of like a screen saver, only for media services and without requiring a password to exit. * the workspace itself. in such cases, launching random apps probably isn't part of the desired use cases, though that could indeed be supported fairly easily if it ended up falling into scope. generally, in this usage it would be used on a dedicated media center device connected to a large screen (t.v., projector, etc.) and used for media playback / storage exclusively. as such, i think the branding works as Plasma Media Center since in both use cases it becomes the work space one is interacting with. in the first use case, it's a temporary "overlay" while in the second case it is indeed the full workspace. in both cases, it's the exact same binary being run. -- Aaron J.
