[Feature-request] Sticky apps/covers

$

I have several apps that I always keep running. MeeCast, email, messaging, Tweetian, etc. Sometimes I accidentally close apps and suffer from short blackouts when I'm about to do something and don't see the corresponding cover in the grid. Some of the covers are the kind that I would like to find always among the first ones in the grid. I suggest implementing the following: Sticky apps/covers With a long-press on the cover screen you would reveal some mechanism for pinning apps. Pinning an app would mean the following things: - The app would retain its position in the cover grid. Pinned apps first, then the others sorted like they currently are being sorted. - The app would be launched automatically on bootup. - Closing of the app would require an extra confirmation or have a remorse timer before actually closing. Alternatively the X-button could be hidden/disabled/grayed-out if pinning was active for that cover. - The app would respawn in a moment after a crash. (This of course with some intelligent way to avoid crashloops.) Here's a quick sketch of how pinning and unpinning could look like. ![image description](http://i.imgur.com/1DSk615.png) Instead of a dull button in the top corner a gesture might also work for this purpose. I haven't followed that much on the SFOS 2.0 UI-design trends, but someone might have more insight on this. Maybe drag the cover (or just its X-button) to some direction in order to pin the cover?
