Looks interesting. I thought of a slightly similar idea when I first
saw Exposé. I thought the idea of a nudge function would be useful.
You begin dragging, then realise there is a window in the way.
Hitting a button (something like command) nudges it out of the way
(moves it along a line from the mouse pointer through the centre of
the window until the edge is just past the mouse pointer). When you
stop dragging, all nudged windows return to their place.
The inability to drop things on Exposé'd windows is an obvious
limitation which needs to be addressed in any Exposé like system.
Also, a note on accents:
In OS X (and on the Psion Series 3, where I first encountered this
behaviour), you press an accent-modifier (e.g. option-e) and then the
letter to which the accent should be added. This seems like
completely the wrong way around. I usually draw a letter, then add
the accent, not the other way around. The accent modifier should add
an accent to the last letter typed, not the next. Thoughts?

Very neat... it's not Expose, but still a rather cool idea...
