In how far does it isolate the web applications from each other, and
from the regular browser?  (I mean things like history, access to
cookies etc.)

Also, it seems like there is a bug where if you create and then remove
a web application, and then create one with the same name but a
different URL (because you want an alternative start URL), it will
somehow re-use the "deleted"(?) one (with the old URL) instead of
creating a new one.
