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

Please do! And include me on the list, this sounds awesome! =o)
Good luck!
