In my config, I have bindings to move and resize windows until 
they "hit" something:

(require 'sawfish.wm.keymaps)
;; Keyboard "bump into next obstacle" movement
(bind-keys window-keymap "H-Down" 'pack-window-down)
(bind-keys window-keymap "H-Right" 'pack-window-right)
(bind-keys window-keymap "H-Up" 'pack-window-up)
(bind-keys window-keymap "H-Left" 'pack-window-left)
;; Keyboard "bump into next obstacle" resizes
(bind-keys window-keymap "H-S-Down" 'grow-window-down)
(bind-keys window-keymap "H-S-Right" 'grow-window-right)
(bind-keys window-keymap "H-S-Up" 'grow-window-up)
(bind-keys window-keymap "H-S-Left" 'grow-window-left)
(bind-keys window-keymap "H-m" 'maximize-fill-window-toggle)

That last line is probably the one you want.
