ctrlwm is a customisable tool for automatic windows positioning and sizing (e.g. tiling, resizing like windows aero snap, and much more). it can be driven through either command line or screen corner/border actions (see daemon mode).

tested with metacity, openbox, kde, xfce.

features: tile windows (different layouts) resize and reposition window to take left/right/top/bottom half of the screen depending on the mouse position (similar to aero snap) resize and reposition window to take specific sector defined by the grid depending on the mouse position, or move it to another workspace go to empty workspace (create one if there's none) switch to next window (like alttab, but without bugs/features)
