It was my idea to embed it into the containment-class, but this would still not allow sub-containments. It would maybe be useful to align the hole desktop (like gnome-shell), but for really individual alignment you need sub-containments. Sub-containments are allowed, but all the stuff like adding widgets is controled from outside and it is very hard to add such features with the current API to sub-containments.

yea, saying that containments in containments are not supported i meant that the sub-containment can't behave like that, but it behaves like a normal applet. there were well defined design choices behind that.
maybe you should ask aseigo if you want to know more

Both "snap to grid" and "snap to other plasmoids" has been requested on bugzilla:

just to advise you, i'm working on this, and i just released a first preview on kde-look (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Gr ... ent=116926). many things are still missing, though.
the code is in KDE's svn also (http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/ ... ingdesktop

comments and ideas are very welcome!

Hey, I revisited this thread some hours ago and then I noticed that there are a lot of updates in SVN. Luck. I'll check it.

As of minutes ago, the final bits for a "grouping desktop" were committed to KDE SVN. It's not on by default, but an addon (it's in kdeplasma-addon).

It is scheduled to appear in the 4.6 release.

Actually it still needs some bugfixes, especially the grid group, but the feature set it's here.

So if I got this right, giucam's Grouping Desktop will be part of KDE 4.6?

Yes, it is. I have grouping desktop set for my desktop type right now.
