I have used several window managers, but what you're asking is (like you 
said) not a yes-or-no question. Enlightenment is one of the most powerful 
WMs around, and it also has a shell-like tool for doing kind of the stuff 
you're asking for, called eesh. I haven't really tried doing anything 
remotely with it though. Try it and see what you think. You can also join 
some E-list if you want more information. See the homepage

Good luck!
