From the first time I see the mails about this subject I was pretty 
interested. I have used Leo[1] a little and not exploting its full 
potencial and even in that way it seems excelent. The thing i was 
thiking is how to integrate Leo with the rest of the operative system, 
particulary with TeXmacs for my mathematical writings. The idea I had 
was that the bottom panel could be an application, acording to some kind 
of leo directive. For example if I put "@app Texmacs", then when I click 
on that node then I get a TeXmacs document. May be this could be done 
with the "@file" directive and using some kind of mime type, so if the 
file is a ·tm it gets open "near" to the bottom panel in TeXmacs. If 
it's a "*.ogg" it gets open on xmms and so on. May be we wold need a 
framed windowing environment for this like Ion, and may be this is far 
away of this work with Texmacs or more related with Leo itseft, but I 
want not to loose the oportunity to give my two colombian pesos (more 
devaluated that dollar cents) in the brainstorming process.

Cheers,

Offray
