Maximizing windows, resizing windows, placement

[Jan Kasprzak <kas fi muni cz>]

	Hello, all!

I have the following problems, and I wonder whether I can solve them wihtout
programming in LISP :-)

1. maximizing windows
=====================
I want to have hot-keys for maximizing windows horizontally, vertically,
and horizontally+vertically. Currently I use

Super+V for maximize-widow-vertically-toggle
Super+H for maximize-widow-horizontally-toggle
Super+M for maximize-widow-toggle

This works _almost_ as I expect, except when the window is already maximized
in other direction than the requested one: I would like the window to become
maximized in and only in the requested direction in all cases,
_except_ when it is already maximized in and only in the requested direction
(it should become un-maximized then).

For example, when I do maximize-window-toggle on a vertically maximized window,
I expect it to become maximized to the whole screen. Instead, it becomes
un-maximized. Similarily, when I do maximize-window-vertically-toggle on
a fully maximized window, it becomes maximized horizontally, while I expect it
to be maximized vertically.

2. resizing windows interactively
=================================
I would like to modify the resize-window-interactively to start resizing
window only after the cursor reaches the window border (the same way as
e.g. twm works). Currently sawfish starts resizing the window as soon as
I move the cursor.

3. window placement
===================
I use first-fit window placement method.
When I have a full-screen application running, I want the new window to be
placed near the cursor instead of top-left position. The rationale is,
that when working in a full-screen app, I sometimes need to open
a chat window for an incoming jabber message. My jabber client has its icon
in a bottom-edge panel, and after clicking on it, I have to traverse the whole
screen size to the top-left corner, where the new window is opened.

	Thanks,

Please don't top post and in particular don't attach entire digests to your
mail or we'll all soon be using bittorrent to read the list.     --Alan Cox
