I've been looking for an application to tile my windows without actually having to use a tiling manager (xmonad, ion, etc)
So far I've found that Fedora provides x-tile. This programs does the tiling as necessary, however, there are a couple of things I don't like. For instance, x-tile will attempt to tile Gnome desktop along with the toolbar. Because of this you can't just do a "tile all" option and you'll have to open up it's window list and select the windows to be tiled each time. Also the selected windows are not remembered so that is another set of mouse clicks that is required each time you wish to tile.
Are there any similar applications that would give the same features that is a little more mature?
update: looks like there is a filter option to hide any unwanted windows to be tiled in x-tile :)

Try Bluetile ( http://www.bluetile.org/ ).
Hi LnxTx,
Attempting to do a cabal install on bluetile ended up in compiler errors with glib. I'm not familiar enough with haskell to do any sort of debugging. Have you gotten this to work on Fedora?
Ahh, I have errors too :/
I don't know how fix it.
