aka "tiled window management"

i used the Siemens tiled window manager on X10 back in the mid-80s. it
got quite annoying after a while because changes to the size and
placement of a single window propagate to many others. contrast to
regular window management, where you can resize or reposition a
specific window, and the rest stay just where you put them last.

obviously, ymmv. it does look stylish, i'll agree.
