What is the goal exactly? I can only spot two real differences from how the Sugar shell currently works: * In Sugar F1-F3 are a single window (hinted as a _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP), which avoids to have to use a nested X for applications. * With this approach activities would be managed by whatever controls ion3 provides. Is there anything I'm missing? Is the point to be able to run desktop applications?
