Arranging windows horizontally and vertically

[Mariner]

I often work with two open windows and I'd like to arrange them horizontally or vertically with a click but I can't find this feature. My windows menu only allows me to cascade or unclutter the current windows. I have Mandriva One 2008 Spring (updated).

 

I searched Google but could only find some Ubuntu users who wanted the same thing.

 

Is there a way to do it?

Ever tried to use a tiling window manager?

No, I'm new to Linux, but I'll look into it. Thanks.

Well then here's one: Awesome. It's not really flashy, I didn't try it myself, but I read some users praising it.

Indeed, awesome is... awesome.

But all tiling managers, incl. awesome, aren't that easy to configure, especially for a new Linux user.

Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to leave that for later because I still have to learn more important things first. But I like the fact that the system is so customizeable (does this word even exist? :D ) Thanks for the links.
