RE: panel widget as library?

["Fox, Kevin M" <KMFox mail bhi-erc com>]

When I worked on the proof of concept new panel, I started the panel off as
a widget. So if the new panel is actually developed, it would have that
ability.

Also as to the desktop item,
I would like to see the desktop not as a directory but as a file.
Imagine this:
Your desktop is a bonobo file.
Everything on your desktop is a bonobo object.
If you want a little notepad, you throw in your favorite text bonobo object.
If you want a scratch pad, embed a gimp image.
You can also embed a gmc bonobo object to gain the files on desktop concept.
Except, with this method, you can have more than one directory on your
desktop. Just add a second gmc bonobo object. :)
