    shell-windows-states: Rewrote for move/resize task
    
    There's now nothing on "minimize". If we want to have that, it
    should be its own topic, probably a tip since it's not common
    in the GNOME3 UI.

-  <p>Make more task-based. Maybe split up. Overview doesn't seem
-  as useful as it could be. Revisit hide/minimize terminology.

- can use and recognize those states. Discuss interesting ways of arranging
- windows (i.e. if there is a "Tile" option or something like that). Mention, in
- passing, how you can move and resize windows in multiple ways.</p></comment>
+<p>You can move and resize windows to help you work more efficiently.
+In addition to the the dragging behavior you might expect, GNOME features
+shortcuts and modifiers to help you arrange windows quickly.</p>
