Hi,

sorry for starting playing the bad guy first. Your concept is missing an 
important factor: Plasma is not a windowing system, but X is the windowing 
system and Plasma is just a set of windows in the other windowing system. With 
our current technology stack what your mockups show is in the area between 
hardly possible and impossible. Integrating windows into Plasmoids is an 
incredible hack and should be avoided (compare legacy systray).

Rewriting everything as a Plasmoid would be the only solution and would break 
each and every 3rd party application (including free software apps like gnome 
apps or unmaintained KDE apps).

Your idea might become possible with Wayland. But even then Plasma is the wrong 
container: it needs to be in the Compositor.

I hope I did not discourage you too much, but I think it is important to know 
about technical limitations before talking about great ideas.

Sorry
Martin
