Discussion Points
From "Notifications:
- KNotify is from "Applications" ?
- SystemBell and Launch Feedback could be in a "System Notifications" group in "Workspace" ?
Where is the boundary in this notifications-related KCMs ?
--
Where does File Association belongs to ? "Applications" behavior?
--
Should "Custom Shortcuts" ("Input Actions") be a Workspace setting? (it is mostly used to launch apps; but it is also used for some intra-apps things)
--
"Screen Edges" seems to be belong to both "Desktop" and "Windows", so it may end up as a top-level module in "Workspace" ....

Usability Discussion
Started after Trever did a quick usability study with a friend: http://markmail.org/message/ods463crzwjc5erm
Current topics
- Usability studies are needed.
- We need a formal policy on what goes where, with something similar to the Desktop Menu Spec by freedesktop.org. Otherwise, everyone will be upset when we change things for every request.
- Tabs are bad
- Maybe a better UI?
- Usability studies are needed.
