I have two things I'm looking for. One, I need a good virtual desktop manager for winxp. I tried the powertoys MSVDM and frankly, it sucks. I need full custom hotkey switching, the ability to control exactly how many desks I want, and I don't want even the possibility of having different wallpapers on each desktop. It would also be nice if there were a "pager" in my taskbar, like a toolbar type thing.
The second thing I'm looking for is what I'd call xorg window moving/resizing. I need the ability to move my cursor into a window, anywhere in a window, hold down one hotkey/combination and simply move my mouse to move the window. Then I need to same functionality except for resizing the window.
Anyone have any ideas? Reccomendations? I'm an avid Litestep fan and know that going with an alternative shell could solve the VDM problem, but I've got a program that I use regularly that conflicts with it. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, searching sourceforge I've found two parts of the functionality I want. VirtuaWin is an excellent virtual window manager, but it doesn't provide "pager" fucntionality comparable to other implementations I've seen. Atleast not by default, but I'm gonna play with it to see what it can do. The other thing I found is a program called WinMove that gives me the windows moving functionality I want, but not the resizing capability. I'm currently looking into either reuesting the feature or coding it myself as the sources are freely available.
Just wanted to let this be known in case anyone else can use it.
