Desktop apps interoperability

[Ivan Gyurdiev]

Okay that was an unfinished email - sorry for my stupidity - I was 
editing it and changing things and clicked send by mistake.

The problem is accurately described (in the first part of the email) and
what I was getting to - I'm trying to imagine how desktop apps can be
confined properly in the future (and right now, for that matter). How
will they interoperate and share data?

I was thinking of a ~/downloads folder with a shared context, but 
this makes sense for apps that download stuff. In the future if desktop
apps are confined (say openoffice, abiword) this becomes a more generic
problem.
