I like the idea.

And just for a useless opinion from me, the Nokia770 desktop had 
something like this. They allowed free positioning of elements with 
various sizes. The effect whas a cluttered appearance and a real pain to 
position the widgets in a nice way. And many of these elements wasted 
just some pixels too much to bring them into position next to each other 
with others.

Especially on a phone i would like the container to control size and 
placement of the gadgets.
The gadget designer could still decide how many 'units' he wants and 
shape his elements like tetris blocks but the container would enforce 
placement and size.

As i said, this is at the moment a useless idea. But i wanted to share 
my experience with a floating unconstrained gadget layout. *g*
