Hi, I once tried to hack something like this, but stopped midway - displaying such desktops/groups grid in the mode-line was a bit too much for me. I came up with a different idea. As I'm used to 3x3 virtual desktop setups, I did something like this. I created 9 groups and then bound `C-M-left/right` to normal gnext/gprev, but then bound `C-M-up/down` to skip by three positions forward or backward. There was a bit of additional code for `C-M-up/down` to detect edges and so on, and of course all the groups were displayed linearly on the mode-line, but this way I've got my 3x3 setup back. I since abandoned this script for some reason, I can try to find it if you want.
On the other hand, last week I finally started learning Xlib, so maybe I'll get back to implementing the "pager" I miss so much from Enlightenment, KDE and XFCE.
