On Tiling window manager According to Wikipedia: In computing, a tiling window manager is a window manager with an organization of the screen into mutually non-overlapping frames, as opposed to the more popular approach of coordinate-based stacking of overlapping objects (windows) that tries to fully emulate the desktop metaphor.

IF you never used a tiling window manager it may sound like a strange concept, but something you are used to some degree, if you use mobile devices- every time you start an "app" on this devices, it shows up taking your full screen, without any window decorations (no title bar with icons that allow you to close or minimize it). By default this is the way most apps start in most tiling window managers. When you open a second application, the screen is then divided in a certain order (usually pre configured by the system or the user): for example: the first app takes up the left side of the screen, and the second app takes up the right side of the screen, etc... without any space between each window, or only a few pixes separating each window.

Some users consider this the most efficient way to use your screen.
