I've long wished for a kind of widget space in #Gnome. Since the new virtual desktops are created to the right I've thought that this could be on a special "widget desktop" one step to the left – like how newer Android (or at least some versions of it) has a news feed to the left.
But then, of course it's hard to navigate to. Being able to slide it up from below from any desktop you're on, I think could be extremely useful.
Weather, note pads, news feeds. Anyone could create new widgets...
