[PyWM-talk] feature possible?

[Jonathan N. W. <li...@fi...>]

There's a feature I'd love to see implemented in a window manager,  
and I think PyWM is the right windowmanager for it.

The attached file is a demo a friend wrote up for a class on Human- 
Computer Interaction.  You can run the demo by running python  
windowlockdemo.py, and you'll need pygame.  If you drag a window to  
the right edge of the screen, the window fills the edge, and the new  
edge of the screen is the left edge of the window--you can see this  
if you maximize the remaining window.

Ideally this feature would work for any edge of the screen, and the  
window management otherwise would work as expected.  This sort of  
"docking" would give a window manager RatPoison-like functionality  
without taking away the functionality of a normal wm.  I expect a  
number of uses of this feature come to mind.

I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this.  I also wonder how easy  
Elmo thinks this would be to implement, and whether it's an  
appropriate feature for PyWM.
