You might want to take a look at 40tude. It's got so many configuration options that it's entirely possible that it can do all that I want and the things you mention. I just haven't spent enough time playing with it to check that out properly.
It also looks like it has a pretty good scripting interface that allows you to further customize how it works, but again I've not had the time to investigate properly.
