Hi Teunis,

I didn't read your whole mail, just:

You are right, the OS provides the capabilities. But to my knowledge no
OS that GNOME runs on (Linux, *bsd, etc) does so. If there is support
for this on the horizon you might bring up your ideas on the right
mailing list again. Skimming over your mail it seems not usability
related so not this one. Maybe check gnome-shell instead. But as I said,
currently there is no point in discussing this at all anywhere at GNOME.

Thanks for understanding,
 Florian
