Comment(by Eben):

 For the record, the design has been adjusted (though not yet implemented)
 such that the Home screen will become the launcher, and the currently
 active activities will appear as places in the Frame.  This makes the
 frame a natural activity switcher/manager.  In addition, the clipboard is
 here, which will be essential for moving data between activities.
 Likewise, the Frame indicates those who you are currently working with in
 collaboration.  Finally, all of the devices (battery, network, storage
 devices, etc.) will appear in the frame as well, making it a quick and
 simple way to get status.

 To round it all out, all of these categories will support notifications,
 such that incoming invitations, people joining/leaving an activity, low
 battery, and new clippings can become evident to the user via the
 appearance of small icons in the corresponding corners of the screen.

 Take these ideas into account when considering this interaction, because
 we feel strongly that this motivates the Frame quite a bit, and will give
 it much more purpose in normal interaction with the machine.  I strongly
 feel that it's important to keep the behavior of the Frame consistent on
 all corners, since there's information on all edges and no way to state
 that any of this is more important than the next.  I'm OK with a custom
 option for a delay that's off by default, ensuring that kids will discover
 it quickly, but have the option to change it's behavior slightly depending
 on their desired behavior.
