Yes, but doesn't desktop-shell need to be aware of these new layers? For example, when the screen is locked, desktop-shell hides the layers it knows about and shows the lock layer. If my plugin invents a new layer and hooks it up, desktop-shell will not know anything about it and it will not be hidden when the screen is locked...
