While in general it really make sense to have modular approach, I 
confess that I'm confused with GWorkspace as it it. Having modular 
things, ok. But it should have been bundles then, not separate 
applications. I really don't see why Inspector.app or Operations.app 
are applications...

But well, I now understand why Enrico did that (to have clean separate 
parts); it's just that I really hope that in the future the code will 
be gathered in ONE app (but with the code in bundles, that could be 
interesting, I agree).

just my 0.2€ ..
