Enlightenment providing the root screen in an optimised way and all was done to make some new widget easily with a good integration to desktop. This is why, it's a better way to make our own module to have a good integration with the desktop than the project "Google Gadget for linux". This is not a real priority to support all the widget provided by google in a first step. But the geolocalisation and the video aren't unachievable features, I think. Sorry, I didn't have too many time today to answer at your mail before.
