I applied to GNOME.  My application was called "Intelligent Desktop" and
it would focus on solving the icon-overflow problem and experiment with
offering dynamic views of the desktop and actions to perform on it, such
as "showing all images."  These would be on a desktop-sidebar (I called
it the DAW or Desktop Action Window).  Basically, I want to try and
enhance the usefulness of the desktop and experiment with various UI stuff.

I don't have the actual application any place public, but I was asked
for some mockups and I have those available if anyone wants to take a look.

All comments and suggestions welcome... especially on whether this could
be implemented externally to Nautilus.  I would prefer tight integration
w/Nautilus, and I don't want to rewrite everything it already does.  I
looked at the extension API and it looks insufficient.  Any thoughts?

If I get accepted (that would be really cool!) I'll announce plans more
formally.  For now, I'm still finishing up school....  >.<
