But I guess there is a way around this. There could be a tag 'apps' and this tag will not have any applications open in it. So let's say they click on firefox. It launches it on a tag called 'web'. Then they launch pidgin or amarok, which would then open up on tags 'chat' and 'music' respectively. In the meanwhile, they can easily go back to the 'apps' tag if they want to launch other apps or log out. It might work ;) And no my parents are not good with computers at all ;) should be interesting..
