Hi Dmitry,

correct, this is the original dektop from extJS. The architecture of 
this App does fit exactly to the need of such module using submodules. 
As the submodules may do total different things, window layout seems to 
be a good solution. The window position will be saved in Usersettings, 
so it's most flexible with resizing / arranging.

The Taskbar is a good container for minimized windows, the desktop 
layout is a well known interface for all users, so there is no big need 
for explaining the usage.

Also if you think of pluggin web widgets (clocks, weatherinfos etc) they 
will come in own container which may be difficult to insert in a static 
layout.

Anyway this is only a try to integrate these things in BE App with most 
common needs,
