I'm not sure we'll ever get rotation. If we ever do, it would be nice if
the icons represent the new orientation. I had to roll this myself for
my tablet:

I had the feeling the obscuring-things-popup was displaying broadcast
system messages, but messages like 'deleting' shouldn't have to be
broadcast.

Stronger app integration through dragging/routing would be nice.
