[openbox] wishlist

[Ales Zemene]

no, i mean someting else. you talk about desktop switching, i mean
moving individual application windows on ONE desktop left, right, up and
down. evilwm moves it just by few pixels(16), or top-left, top-right, 
bottom-left or bottom-right of screen.
it is just replacement for dragging them with your mouse.
