Hello All

That would be really cool. Currently I'm using pytyle ( 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pytyle/ ). Pytyle is a Python script 
which tiles the windows independent of the window-manager you use. With 
Pytyle you can do a lot of things, like tiling horizontally, vertically 
or have the window maximized, quickly tile/untile. You can also change 
the size of your main-window. So it does not use 2/3 of the screen 
fixed. And it supports different tilings for different workspaces. But 
it does not have any GUI part. It is controlled completly by 
keyboard-shortcuts. To see something similair, maybe even with some nice 
GUI integration, in gnome-shell would be grate.
