Category View
Switchboard's Category View should be moved to Granite and then extended on Switchboard. It's a very useful widget that has all sorts of purposes.
One can define the Category View as a view for several icons that automatically reorders them when the window is resized. It extends Gtk.Grid.
Switchboard's source code can currently be found at:

Whiteboard
The widget should behave like the Gtk.IconView but works with every widget passed to it like Buttons, other Containers etc:
Also the FlowLayout from the Swing-kit is a good source for describing the functionality: "The FlowLayout class puts components in a row, sized at their preferred size. If the horizontal space in the container is too small to put all the components in one row, the FlowLayout class uses multiple rows." - teemperor
Last time I checked the Switchboard implementation didn't work that well. We even had to mangle icon sizes as a workaround. --shnatsel
