Gnome Founder and Mono Lead blogs on adding HTML5 widgets to Gnome

Hello,

   Miguel de Icaza writes in the blog story "Making Gnome Fun":

   Web applets: Like every other user out there, I want to get the  
OSX dashboard widgets into my desktop. It should not be hard to  
modify Mozilla to provide the same functionality and even be source  
compatible. The core is there already. Probably the most important  
element of Apple's Dashboard is the fact that it basically runs full- 
screen: so there is no need to write small controls or make them tiny  
or try to get creative about showing them or
hiding them. Its basically a full new screen where you can use the  
space effectively.

What's your take? Do you want to see Apple Dashboard Widgets run out- 
of-the-box on the Linux Gnome Desktop?

- Gerald
