I think you misunderstood me. I'm talking about having programs on my  
computer running effectively inside SL. *all* the way inside SL. On  
any surface that a media texture can be placed now. I can run  
transparent windows in front of SL already. I *do* run transparent  
windows in front of SL, on occasion. But they are not "in world".

This has nothing to do with SL widgets. This has to do with SL  
objects. This has to do with SL being a 3d environment and using that  
as my desktop.

What is Cairo?
