Just a little question about a Gambas development...

If I make a component or a control that allows a program to deal with the 
window manager:
- Being able to receive an event when a top-level window is created, 
destroyed, when the current desktop changes, when the number of desktops 
changes, when some window property changes...
- Being able to modify any top-level window property.

This component will be based on QT and some code taken from KDE 3.x.

Will people be interested in that?

The goal would be making a light desktop environment based on Gambas and QT. 
Light, because a lot of thing could run in the same process: the taskbar, the 
pager, the applets, the file manager, the desktop... And so, the startup time 
of the desktop would be equivalent to the startup time of the Gambas IDE.

I need to know, as I may have the time to make the above component, but not 
the desktop environment itself.

Tell me what you think about that!
