[request] Virtual Desklets

Using the base of the the CurDesklet that was created by AndreasV a while ago - being able to show your desktop as an image on...er your desktop, I had the idea today that if someone could create a Virtual desktop Desklet it could be combined so that....

when you click on the desktop image (of the other desktop) it would flip to the other desktop, then the image on the desktop would be the other desktop!

Now I know that makes no sense at all, but I know what I mean :P

And how about even more functionality? Clicking on and dragging any of the windows in the virtual desktop representation onto the current actual desktop transfers them to that desktop. If that makes sense. I haven't yet seen any virtual desktop managers that do this.

the Virtual Desktop plugin for SharpE could do this.
