Interesting project, thanks for sharing a link.
I use 'bluetile' which also allows you to set "floating" vs. "tiled" on a per-workspace basis. I'm probably going to migrate to pure-tiled in the future though because GNOME 2.x is dead and I abhor 3.x

Yeah, I remember when `bluetile` came out---really a very cool project. From what I understand though, its floating is just like Xmonad's, which I could never coerce into doing what I wanted. (I found floating in Xmonad is useful when it's necessary for things like GIMP, but not so useful as an explicit way to manage stacking windows. Which, of course, is quite OK since it is a tiling WM!)
But maybe Bluetile has gotten better in the years since I last looked at it. :-)

Good call. I freed myself from the DE years ago, and I don't think I could ever go back.

Interesting. The reason I first installed a tiling window manager (awesome) was for GIMP, so I could avoid having to deal with a bunch of floating windows. (Now that I use a tiling window manager, I actually like the fact that gimp has a bunch of windows, but I do not understand how that is a good design choice when most people use a non-tiling window manager).
