This might mean big trouble.

Can I just move windows without rearranging them? (Which I currently use
VirtSpace for a lot). What if I need to move to the right or left edge to
click on something, such as a scrollbar? (ditto for bottom). Or if I'm moving
a window along the edge of the screen?

These are nice ideas, but I'd be worried about the details.
