Just a couple of quick thoughts:

1) There was a window manager written in Python (whose name escapes me at the 
moment) but it was *SLOW*... in fact, I never did get it to work correctly. 
Part of the reason was that all interaction was done through Python/Qt 
bindings with the modules written in Python. I imagine that the speed would 
be increased greatly if the core engine of the WM was written in Ruby/C 
instead of plain ruby scripts.

2) It's a great idea since Ruby lends itself to nearly any task. Count me in 
if you decide to move forward.
