Heh.. funny that.. I've been for a straight split between the controls
and desklets, and then handling control installation through
dependencies, but now I'm starting to think otherwise.

What would be the best for USERS, would be to have one single file that
is installed by moving it to a folder where it can be found. To enforce
the packaging we would need a simple script that forms the bundle.
Perhaps a zip with subdirs "displays", "controls", "displays/gfx", etc..

But what would be good for DEVELS (IMHO) is to have a listing of
controls, so that they don't need to reinvent the wheel and using
bundling might kill the need to submit controls separately.

Hmm?
