Have you seen pwm/ion window managers? ion seems to describe what you're
describing... (I've not tried it myself - but I adore pwm and use it as my
daily wmanager. I should concede though I do not use gnome daily - I'm only
on this list because UI discussions are a pet interest ;)

I have no idea how gnome-friendly pwm/ion are...
