re: Kororaa:
I've been playing with this all day, for wont of any actual work to do. I 
reckon it would improve productivity (for me at least), since with a simple 
keyboard shortcut you can switch between a maximised workspace and a tool 
panel (ie for GIMP), hence you're not being distracted by moving focus from 
the workspace to a tiny pane somewhere in the taskbar. Works for me. YMMV. 
People will see advantages and disadvantages to rotating the screen as 
opposed to just flipping desktops. That's just my take.
