You mean you want it to always group?
Currently the options are
a) never group
or
b) try to be clever
The algorithm for b is somewhat involved, and not quite finished.
Basically, it tries to give each button at least DEFAULT_GROUPING_LIMIT
pixels, and if that is not possible it picks one group to group and tries
again. picking which group to group next is done by a scoring function
that gives a score for each group depending on factors such as:
* Number of windows in the group
* Number of windows in the group with the same title
* Total abount of focused time (this is not implemented fully yet)
The final scoring function has not been tuned at all, and probably should.
Perhaps we should add a third option
c) Always group windows
