for some time, the coolest eyecandy in linux distros has been the desktop cube. truth is, the multiple desktops afforded by virtual desktops are beyond useful and speedy, they're a great way to organize your windows in a remarkable way.
My idea is to add a desktop from another network connected machine in with your virtual desktops. more could be done as ultimate sharing by drag and drop of applets from one machine to another.
devs, if this is possible, it is a revolutionary cloud idea and pretty much streamline the remote help options, even if with the smallest of options being to move text based apps from one machine to another with terminal commands...etc...
please let me know what you think of the idea.

The Quickly development tool has a few nice templates to start a new graphical or cli app or unity lens project easily (and quickly) but it still doesn't have a template for application indicators.

I wouldn't code directly on the computer for power consumption and chip-waves.

CONTEXT:
Each web-browser makes use of its own cookie jar and most applications requiring e.g. authentication also have their own.

PROBLEM:
In some cases an application (e.g. inbox notifier) for the desktop needs authentication, while this authentication is already done through the browser. If this application wants to provide authentication via OpenID, it would require to simulate authentication to OpenID providers as if it were made through the browser. If the application wants to provide more than one OpenID provider to its options, it will have to do this for each provider. That represents quite a lot of work and it would be duplicated by as many application requiring authentication.
