I'm looking into slimmer window borders in the same vein as the thinner 
splitters that I've done. I'll see if we can get this in.

Sounds a bit more involved than thinner window borders. I think it is an 
interesting idea, but I need to ponder it a bit before I decide if I like 
the idea. I get a little wary of user interfaces that try to do too much. So 
the question in mind is "is it natural for windows to know about other 
windows as if you are laying out tiles on the screen?" or would this feature 
frustrate users when they are trying to overlap windows slightly? I dunno 
right now because I don't know of too many user interfaces that do this. Do 
you care to submit a changeset that does this?
