This should really be done with "gravity" like ratpoison, I
think. Windows are divided into classes: transient, maxsize,
normal. windows can be given individual gravity and a default gravity
can be set for each class. gravity is a compass direction plus
center. default gravity is nw. Perhaps there could be other gravity
types (I'm not sure what they'd be).

If you'd like to work on a gravity patch that'd be great! If you're
interested, let me know if you need more details or have better ideas.
