jep, another criterion to have more differentiated 'container' (guis or
applications or whatever) will solve some problems!
But we have to define some categories.
We will need applications (:-)) for
* maps
* administration
* permission-handling
* ...???

Back to find the right term:
Thomas is right that 'application' maybe a little bit unclear in some cases.
But I don't know a better term. Or let's call them EWS (eierlegende
Wollmilch...).

Uli
