Is it difficult to separate definition of an application from its
appearance? Here's what I'd like in an "ideal world"
Type: Wharf
Name: Wharf1
Function: anything in here
Place: Desk1,open Desk3,icon
Type: Wharf
Name: Wharf2
Function: something else
Place: Desk2,open
The program should be written in such a way that Function and Place are
clearly separated.
