i had a similar idea a number of years ago. not a gui coder so no idea
how to do it though. my thinking was to make a wm that used an html
widget to manage the root window. you could use it for browsing the
fs or for browsing the web. i like the idea of the virtual desktop -
that way you could have multiple views.
plus editing a desktop would be as simple as firing up an html editor
(like vi for instance... :) ).
