xfce (xfwm) has the maximization (vertical|horizona) option. I used
it a lot.
In my opinion comparing two windows is only MS Windows 7 tric, and it
should be the responsibility of the application to allow you comparing
it's content; like word processing and web browsing, IDEs do already
that.
Windowmaker also has the maximize vertical/horizontal option, but I
find it requires more fiddling to get your windows positioned side by
side.
Most of the times, the two windows I want side-by-side are not from
the same app. It is either VI/Firefox, VI/Acrobat
(code+documentation), or gschem/acrobat pcb/acrobat
(schematic+datasheet, layout+datasheet), or gschem/pcb
(schematic+layout)
I agree with you, if the windows are from the same app, it is
responsibility of the app (:vsplit in VI). If the windows are from
different apps, it is the responsibility of the window manager.
Anyway, I will try and polish my patch soon enough.
Regards,
Johann
