Maximus won't handle the gimp AFAIK.

Can't regular activities just ask to be maximized
and/or ask to be the same size as the screen?
The common Python libraries could do this.

The critical thing here is switching between multi-window
programs that have stuff like floating toolbars. I suspect
that a one-desktop-per-activity policy will get you that.

If metacity needs to change, then it changes. Changing it
might involve a new freedesktop.org specification, so that
the changes don't become some sugar-specific hack.
