Railsters:

What’s the closest Rail-ist solution for the iGoogle system that  
drags-and-drop divs around a page and records their locations? The  
draggable\_element view helpers would require a system to record  
locations, a system to put drag bars on the divs, a system to record  
and replay locations, and a system to put dots around target  
rectangles?

Has anyone done all that and put the result into a cutesey sample site  
or plugin?
