    <description><![CDATA[In the panel, it would be handy to be able to tile windows horizontally and vertically instead of just minimising, maximising and moving to other desktops.<br /><br />At present, I spend a lot of time resizing windows when it should be automated.<br />

  <title>Comment from CydeSwype</title>
  <description><![CDATA[i'd like to see the ubuntu implementation smarter than the windows "tile" feature.  specifically, there should be a "lock tiles" feature so that once the windows are tiled, one window can be resized and all the other windows should resize with it, to remain "tiled."  this would be especially handy for watching a movie in one window of the tile, having a browser in another "tile," etc.  the user could resize the movie playing in one window to make it bigger and all the other windows would get smaller.  would be nice to drag a window/tile to another window/tile to "swap" tiles also.  tile usually assumes the user wants all windows the same size...but this is rarely the case.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I agree with CydeSwype. For a great example of how Metacity could make a great tiling wm without actually being a tiling wm, see emacs. You can spawn windows horizontally and vertically, and from those two come up with tons of different configurations. You can also resize them, where one seamlessly gains space as the other loses it. It would just be a great functionality to have; plus I've heard something about Windows 7 making window tiling even easier (although I didn't read specifics), and it would be nice to stay ahead of the curve on this.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[This feature has been SOLVED a long time ago. You can use xmonad (instead of Metacity) as your Window Manager under GNOME. All of your windows will be completely tile all the time. It supports re-sizing of one tile and all the other tiles will be auto-resize to fit.<br /><br />It supports multiple layout mode so you can switch from tile to one window at a time with one shortcut combo. You can even move your tiles between virtual windows or between monitors (if u happen to have more than 2). It is not perfect since you need to get used to it. But it will improve your workflow tremendously.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I know this functionality was in windows since 1995 but I never used it. <br /><br />Suddenly I bought a 24" monitor and it has become a very needed function. <br /><br />Users with small screens, please understand this feature is very useful for big monitors and people will get more and more big monitors now that they are not as expensive as they were. <br /><br />Talking about monitors with full hd, maximized windows make no sense at all (since most of the space will be wasted) and this is where this feature is very important.]]></description>
