I thought of this just after I sent my last post. No I'm not creating a new
launcher but it has the same semantics on a more local level. Except that my
shell will stick around. Having a launcher always on top is an interesting
idea but not very realistic. Apps expect to use 160x160 of the screen area.
My plugins don't expect this. They know they have a smaller area. Which
makes doing this ok.
Any tips?
