Comment ZUI as a desktop (Score 1) 384

I would love to have a fluxbox-style application context menu and a ZUI as the desktop. The ZUI I have in mind would be a mix of spatial desktop and virtual desktop metaphors -- desktop icons and application windows might be spread out across an infinitely large ZUI desktop, with "links" to jump to various locations.

I have implemented a bunch of the necessary pieces in Piccolo2D (http://code.google.com/p/piccolo2d) and have a placeholder project at SourceForge called Sprawl (http://sprawl.sourceforge.net). To get the necessary integration with window managers though, it might be more practical to implement these ideas in Clutter (http://www.clutter-project.org).
