No tiling windows in Ubuntu

[grofaty]

There is one single question that I always get from new Ubuntu user is: "How do I tile windows?" You know like in Windows XP right mouse click on task bar and select "Tile Windows Vertically" or "Tile Windows Horizontally" and open windows get tiled. And then get answer: "You said everything can be done in Ubuntu, but such a basic thing is not working?"

Please see attached picture of tiling two programs on Windows.

Agreed, this is an annoying lack of a feature, especially since Windows has had it since '95.

Doubt it qualifies as a Papercut, but its definitely something upstream needs to plan on implementing for 10.04

I enabled this through compiz plugin once, it messed up my system. It would be awesome if gnome could do it by default

Marus has just submitted a patch and awaiting a review, lets hope we can push it through.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.
