Re: Grid functionality needed

["Richard Silver" <corn13read gmail com>]

I like the aero snap though it only goes half the screen. Grid does 1/2, 1/3, 2/3.

Would be nice if dragging made window fit in grid layoit and if you wanted to drag to different workspace hold a modifier key

Isn't Metacity a Window Decorator?

I agree though, Grid is nice. MS's thing of linking it to a mouse
movement to the side of the screen (Aero Snap, I think it's called) is
an improvement too, if you don't want to drag windows to another
workspace off the side.
