commit f24365520c058e92ab2155bfdd3ea08726c8880e

New extension: native-window-placement
This extension employs an algorithm (taken from KDE) for layouting
the thumbnails in the overview that more closely reflects the positions
and relative sizes of the actual windows, instead of using a fixed
grid.
