[compiz] Feature request: windows snapping

[Colin Guthrie]

Hi,

Quickest feature request -> implementation ever!! Already done (some 
time ago)!

As others have said this is an option already present. Seach the forums 
over at http://compiz.net and look for a program called gset-compiz. It 
acts as a frontend for the various settings and give you an idea of what 
features compiz actually has! (it can sometime be hard to realise that a 
particular option exists!).

Over there you can also find information on compiz-quinn which is an 
unofficial version of compiz with many (potentially unstable) user 
submitted patches/plugins. I use it as my primary WM and am very happy 
with it.

This requires a specially modified version of libwnck (part of Gnome). 
You can find some patches on this list for version 2.14 (also to be 
found on the forums over at compiz.net).

David, is there any idea as to when these patches will go upstream? I 
see DanW has had some of his patches accepted already in the latest 2.15 
version.
