[Unity-design] Desktop as a widget space.

Hello Friends, On my table I use a big sheet -- almost as big as my table -- of transparent glass so that I can display some useful information under it. Desktop in my computer more or less plays the same role. Its a place where I spread my apps windows and use them. *Why not
