The part where xLabel is concerned, and it moving to where you want, is 
easy (provided each desktop has the same size). I think the rest is 
possible, and know that it would not involve infinite anythings; but 
your details aren't making too much sense (like exactly which thing 
that's moving is a label, and which is a window).
