The only thing moving in my example is a label. I've gotten a very
basic (and ugly) version working:

;-------- EXAMPLE BEGINS

*Label                  vwmCursor
vwmCursorX "578"
vwmCursorY "32"
vwmCursorWidth 32
vwmCursorHeight 32
vwmCursorPaintingMode .singlecolor
vwmCursorColors #ff0000
vwmCursorMoveable  horizontal
vwmCursorMoveModifierKey .none
vwmCursorSnapTo 20 vwmSnapTargets
vwmCursorMoveArea "$vwmCursorX$" "$vwmCursorY$" "160" "32"

*Label                  vwmSnap1
vwmSnap1X "$vwmCursorX$"
vwmSnap1Y "$vwmCursorY$"
vwmSnap1Width 0
vwmSnap1Height 32
vwmSnap1AddToGroup       vwmSnapTargets
*Label                  vwmSnap2
vwmSnap2X "$vwmCursorX+32$"
vwmSnap2Y "$vwmCursorY$"
vwmSnap2Width 0
vwmSnap2Height 32
vwmSnap2AddToGroup       vwmSnapTargets
*Label                  vwmSnap3
vwmSnap3X "$vwmCursorX+64$"
vwmSnap3Y "$vwmCursorY$"
vwmSnap3Width 0
vwmSnap3Height 32
vwmSnap3AddToGroup       vwmSnapTargets
;vwmSnap3StartHidden "true"
*Label                  vwmSnap4
vwmSnap4X "$vwmCursorX+96$"
vwmSnap4Y "$vwmCursorY$"
vwmSnap4Width 0
vwmSnap4Height 32
vwmSnap4AddToGroup       vwmSnapTargets
*Label                  vwmSnap5
vwmSnap5X "$vwmCursorX+128$"
vwmSnap5Y "$vwmCursorY$"
vwmSnap5Width 0
vwmSnap5Height 32
vwmSnap5AddToGroup       vwmSnapTargets

vwmCursorOnMove !ParseEvars !vwmdesk %#(vwmCursorCurrentX-vwmCursorX+32)/32%#

;-------- EXAMPLE ENDS

The red box represents your currently active desktop. You drag it left
and right to select a desktop, and it switches to that desktop when
you do. Ideally the red box would be lined up above/below your VWM and
not be so huge, nor so red or boxy. ;) The only thing that's missing
right now is updating the position of the red box when you switch
desktop any other way (e.g. right-clicking on the VWM, hotkeys, etc.).
I could put in a VWMOnSwitchTo event and use !labelmove, but then I'd
create a horrible circle - the !labelmove would trigger
vwmCursorOnMove, which would call !vwmdesk and trigger VWMOnSwitchTo,
which would call !labelmove...
