WebKit should make this a relatively trivial process.

As I see it, apps that GS really needs to be a useable desktop on its own
merits (in no particular order):

1. E-mail - solved with GNUMail
2. Browser
3. Graphics editor
4. basic office apps (wordprocessor, spreadsheet, database)
5. print management (CUPS interface?)
6. software Installer
