Hi,

Conspicuously missing from the Sawfish bindings menu is a primitive
operation that would allow a window to be set to a constant (parameterized)
size.  There are a whole lot of maximize/fill primitives, and even
"increase or decrease size by 1" primitives, but not a "set size to WxH"
primitive.

This would be particularly useful with xterm-like programs (konsole,
gnome-terminal, eterm, xterm, etc).  I'd like to be able to set up key
bindings to set sizes to 80x24, 80x25, 80x50, 80x66, 132x60, and various
other convenient semi-standard text screen sizes.  Similarly, another set
of bindings to set browser window sizes to 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, etc.
would help work around an awful lot of bad web site design.  If this
feature were combined with window packing primitives and placement policy,
I would be using a mouse to place windows much less often.

The usual trick of remembering window positions doesn't work when there
are many similar windows.
