Comment 2 for bug 1012253

The intention is not to save space, but to be able to reduce clutter.

Here is a use case that I thought of. I have a bunch of informational screenlets - such as network bandwidth, a terminal screenlet showing the top processes, another terminal screenlet showing open network connections. These are things I use frequently enough, that I would love to be able to gesture over part of the desktop to have that information simply 'appear'

And then go away and not distract me when I am done.
