I don't think this would fit well on plan 9. There's room for improvement
in what exists,  but I think large and complex environments are liabilities.

It's not something I'd be interested in using.

If you want this, you're going to need to write the code.

In general, ideas are cheap, and people are unlikely to pitch in until
they see where you're going. And specifically, people already know where
to go if they want KDE or Gnome.
