it definitely covers the topic, yes :)
hopefully it will be clear and useful enough; if it isn't, we can add to it.
it's a wiki, so if

As for the "Windows inside plasmoids is ugly" part, when I said my idea was
to make applications and plamoids the same thing, I meant it form the POV of
the user. Internally, they would remain different -- note that, in my
mockups,

IMO, this would be evil if limited only to plasmoids (honestly, if it
was vice versa - windows moving, plasmoids not - it would be

The thing I agree with is that this can't be plasma. This would first
and foremost need to be a new window manager, which would load
plasmoids as windows. (so, I agree with the 'hardly possible'
statement - implementing a new WM is not a trivial task, far fro
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

Hi.
I've been thinking about some ideas to create a new kind of plasma shell for
some time right now and I want to get this out of my sole head, whether it
is feasible, desirable, good or none of these. Mockups[1] will explain
better.
But, basically, I'm based on the idea that the desktop is invi
