If we create something, let it be the right fit for our needs, not a rehash of other people's ideas. These tiles are just large buttons with HTML and other dynamic content, aren't they? Emacs can do it 100x better, and we don't need kinetic scolling or visual candy to make it useful. I bring this up here because emacs-panel.el is intended to fix some of the things I dislike about Gnome and other desktop environments, especially how they mimic the Windows and Mac OS X desktop environments and how expensive their resource usage is. So I hope you will agree. Thanks Ted
