Window tiling in Gnome without Compiz?

Question

I really do like the Grid plugin in Compiz, but at work I cannot use Compiz on my workstation (Fedora 12). Is there anything similar for plain X or Metacity?

The Grid-plugin gives you a few keyboard shortcuts for tiling active window. For example Ctrl+Alt+Numpad_4 would tile window to half screen.

Answer 1

I can answer this by myself now.

QuickTile does just the same thing as Grid in Compiz.

Although it has some bugs still in it.

Another one is PyTyle.

Answer 2

You should try a tiling Window manager like xmonad or RatPoison
