Description Thomas Thurman 2010-01-21 18:06:36 UTC 
Several people would like functionality similar to Microsoft's "Aero Snap" in Windows 7.  More details are here:

Implement side-by-side tiling

When dragging a window over a screen edge and dropping it there,
maximize it vertically and scale it horizontally to cover the
corresponding half of the current monitor.

Whenever a "hot area" which triggers this behavior is entered, an
indication of window's target size is displayed after a short delay
to avoid distraction when moving a window between monitors.

This is a port of the mutter patch which was committed as 97e2b4666b5 (see bug 606260 for the original bug report).
