Aside: Winsplit Revolution
Boy, I wish I had been running WinSplit Revolution for a couple of years now–essentially since I first got the widescreen monitors. What a handy tool. Essentially it’s a little app that intercepts configurable hotkeys and uses them to map windows into specific screen coordinates–it makes the process of working with many open windows easier. It’s the first “leave it running all the time” tool I’ve added to my toolkit in quite a while. And it’s donationware. Yay.
Now I need to find an equivalent for my Ubuntu boxes.

FYI: The closest thing I’ve found to WinSplit Revolution for Ubuntu is using the non-gui utility wmctrl with custom hot key bindings. Not quite as user friendly as WinSplit, but better than nothing.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll look into it.

There’s a plugin for compiz that does the same job (better, since wsr stopped running since the 9.02 upgrade for me on 64 bit vista :/)
Try the tiling window manager entry from wikipedia for reference, I forget the exact name, but that’s where you’ll find it.
