Hi It is possible to write a window manager for Windows - I did so years ago: http://www.nmitchell.co.uk/programs/sysutils.htm - BlueDock. You don't need to run inside a Gtk window, but you do need to do a lot of hook programming, which is fiddly and brittle, and requires an external .dll, which Haskell currently can't create.

Looks really nice, but if I understand it correctly it is specific for X, so does not work on Windows?

I have not tried it, but in theory you should be able to use xmonad as a window manager for X11 applications in Windows. However, you cannot use xmonad to manage Windows applications. I have seen some interesting customizations of window management in Vista, so it is conceivable that if the correct hooks are available, and if the X11 portion of xmonad were abstracted out, it would be possible to write an alternate backend for Windows applications.
