screenshot?

Not having any luck trying to do an inline image, so here's a link.

Ah, so that's what it does. Neat.

Also, that's a lot of USB drives.

Thanks it's quite a good idea. A very good idea : graphical tools to control tiling behaviours are harshly missing

Why not using the "tile" from Greg Schenzel?

an applet could activate it, while the dependency seems minimal.

Again, thanks, I did not expected to find such an applet.

I've updated this:

- windows now tile over just the area available to windows rather than trying (and failing) to tile over the whole desktop
- rewritten to use awnlib
- added some little icons in the right-click menu to show what the various tiling methods mean
- added a "show desktop" item to the menu so I can reduce the number of applets I have in my dock

I'll be in touch.

I could never get this to work for me, and besides, no dependencies (beyond gtk) seemed better than one :)

A couple of updates:

- added a preferences window to allow changing what each mouse button does, the icon in the dock changes to reflect the correct left button behaviour

- added a "maximise all windows" option
