For instance, ignoring the lame gfx, we could do something like: http://www.gnome.org/~alexl/piles.png I.e. when you move the mouse to the top of the screen we slide in a bunch of click/drop targets. By default there is a trash target and a "create new pile" target. Then there is a pile for each pile the user has created. If you're drag and dropping you can get these drop targets to show up just by dragging to the top, then to a target and then dropping. If you want to open something from a pile you can move to the top to show the piles and then click on a pile to explode it. Piles should be able to contain both real files as well as applications and browser uris. Anyway, just an idea. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc al...@redhat.com alexander.lars...@gmail.com He's a fast talking flyboy rock star from a doomed world.
