How is multidesktop a formfactor? Isn't it just software configuration?
I can turn my personal desktop into a Sun Ray server and back in 60
seconds by running a single command. Is multi-sear a multidesktop? Is
fast user switching a multidesktop? Aren't we trying to infer too much
from too little?

What if a video adapter drives more than one display? Maybe
video_adapter should represent a video adapter? What about the existing
display_device capability? Should video_adapter_pm a subclass of the
more generic video_adapter? Why is laptop_panel a separate class? Am I
asking too many questions?
