I thought about a computer:/// vfolder earlier already, which would be 
the root of all other roots (e.g. when you hit up in 'trash:///' or 
'file:///' you'd end up in 'computer:///'). The idea is to make the 
whole thing (and esp. the tree side pane) more logical, since you'd only 
have one root node, not several root nodes and would be able to navigate 
everywhere by just using the 'Up' button and the folder navigation of 
the view.

Concerning the panel thingy: Why a separate plugin? The launcher plugin 
can do this already.

greets,
Benedikt
