The applications lens currently shows recent stuff (not to my taste, but 
OK), one line of stuff I have that expands to 200 things I have (woah), 
and 6 things I don't have (why??)
Is this set in stone?
could it be changed so that it is categorised by category?

it seems to me to be a simpler way of doing things, should I write this 
as a supplementary lens with python/singlet or finish my hacks to the 
Vala lens and do a merge request on that?

I am a bit skeptical that changing the default lens will be acceptable 
as most of what I did was rip out the zeitgeist thing and the adverts, 
and probably make a mess of the formatting, but I would like some 
feedback on whether this is a useful direction for the main lens, or a 
useful supplementary lens.

Alan.
