Nested oop apps: bug 1020135

• Status: ?
• What this bug solves: Gaia apps like Settings app hosts many of the settings for other apps. It would be more technically sound if the Settings app could embed the said app instead, for the sake of code clarity and security model etc (bug ?). We would also need this to stop using activity to launch & go back from the keyboard settings panel (bug ?). It would unlock the 3rd-party app setting embedding as well (bug 1020063).
