Nothing wrong with your explanation, it makes perfect sense. That was kind of the way I imagined it. Anyway, I'm still not too keen on the whole idea but I'm not going to whine any more about it. :)

The keyboard widgets though, that sounds like a neat idea. Would be great if we could get people to submit working key mappings for their media keyboards and ship a number of them with LS (mappings, not media keyboards). Then the users can just select their model from a popup and whammo -- working media keys. Come to think of it, I have a number of old media keyboards of various brands lying around. Plugging them in and creating mappings for them wouldn't be that much work.

Yes, I think we need to be pretty clear on what this is about. Personally I don't think (or like to think) that a script, with no GUI, that does one thing or other is a widget. Because if that is a widget too, there will be no need or use for traditional LS themes anymore. One could just load up a bunch of widgets and have all the functionality you need. Maybe you could even have container widgets that load other widgets, and thus eliminate the need for any themer to create even a bar or a box. What we will end up with is GeoShell, not LiteStep.

(OK, I said I wasn't gonna whine anymore, sorry ;))
