Another idea:

I propose a layer-view, which would basically be a dock behaving like the compiz desklet layer. That would give a whole screen as an interface to put all kinds of nice launchers etc on it

you already have the widget layer, where you can place all the desklets

All the desklets indeed, but not the launchers That's where the layer-view would make a difference.
But another way of doing this would be to allow several rows of launchers and / or applets on the dock.

well I'm not fan of switching to another context to launch a task and then back to the normal context to use this task.
I find it nice for desklets that just displays some piece of information though (weather, clock, battery, RSS-reader)

That's interesting: how do you do that?
I guess i could then create several docks on the layer, move their position across the screen to create several rows... it sounds like something fun to try out.

Currently, you can only put all the dock to this widget layer

@ fabounet: is it possible to have a different window title for each dock?
