Add an Application view
Problem
Mentioned on Discord woth Alexia/@cyrneko :) So a list of processes is a bit confusing : My app is misbehaving, which process do i kill ? How much RAM in total does it uses ? What is mktcnsyscpio86l-so ? Is it dangerous ? Edible ? Where am i ?
Considering there is also no exposed way to stop an application running in the background, it is also very likely the user may want to stop running apps through Monitor too
Proposal
A tab focused on currently running, user-level, applications : Discord, Firefox, Libreoffice... but maybe not Dock or Wingpanel or any system process - as someone with the adequate knowledge to play with that may want to target the process.
I think Cyrneko mentioned SystemD exposed currently running apps ? else since most of these apps are flatpaks maybe there is a portal for that ?

Previously the process view was displayed as a tree view with a top branch as apps. And all other processes that don't have windows were displayed as Background processes. I think this is still a useful ux concept, because at the end you're still operating on the processes.

oh i like that arrangement, if the tree view could be collapsable.
