remote desktop in virtual desktops

for some time, the coolest eyecandy in linux distros has been the desktop cube. truth is, the multiple desktops afforded by virtual desktops are beyond useful and speedy, they're a great way to organize your windows in a remarkable way.
My idea is to add a desktop from another network connected machine in with your virtual desktops. more could be done as ultimate sharing by drag and drop of applets from one machine to another.
devs, if this is possible, it is a revolutionary cloud idea and pretty much streamline the remote help options, even if with the smallest of options being to move text based apps from one machine to another with terminal commands...etc...
please let me know what you think of the idea.

Rearrange workspaces in Expo, like spaces

There is an special feature in Apple Mac OS X Leopard, related with the introduction of workspaces (Spaces).
When you go to the "Spaces View" (similar to Compiz Expo plugin) you can "Drag & Drop" Windows from one object to another, but you can also "rearrange" the entire space, clicking on an empty zone of the space.

Window manager keyboard shortcuts uniformization

Window manipulation shortcuts can not be learn by new users.
For example, all ALT-TAB, Windows-TAB, CTRL-ALT-LEFT, CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-LEFT like shortcuts aren't intuitive at all.
Compiz gives a great advantage to users on the Desktop. For everyday productivity, it is a major gain when well used and configured. Such features must be shown to users and makes the difference from one OS to another one. We shall improve the learning curve and communicate on this.
Why not review all these window/desktop manipulations and make this one of the greatest advantages of the OS.

Multiple window resize options cycling using mouse only

Pressing one of the ctrl+alt+(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) hotkeys multiple times cycles through the different window resize options. This is a great feature!
It would be great if this would be possilbe using only a mouse to make it more user friendly and expose it to the average user (who often doesn't go through the list of all the keyboard shortcuts to see what's available).

Simple tiling and work bench management

To make it possible to arrange several windows or applications into a useful workplace situation or use-case coverage it should be possible with as few interactions as possible to get tiling to work also without completely reorienting every window and getting confused.
I thought of describing a collection of windows, fully partially or not at all overlapping, using one grid (as in Microsoft Windows Metro, only that Windows Metro doesn't look like it supports overlapping in a smart way). I think this can be done using negative spaces where they overlap.
An intuitive approach follows:

Snap window to quarter or half of screen

Especially when working on a larger screen I like windows to take up a quarter or (vertically) half of the screen.
With this idea a button could be pressed when dragging a window to split the desktop into areas where the window could be placed.
For example:
Drag to one quarter to resize and place there
Drag to the line between two quarters to stretch across two quarters vertically or horizontally
Alternative regions could also be defined by the user by pressing the key while not dragging anything and moving the boundaries.
