Aligning windows

[Afflictedd2]

Hi everyone,

Is there a utility that will let me align windows side by side automatically, horizontally or vertically, like the windows align windows side by side?

Thanks in advance,

Window placement is the job of the window manager. You can find some different window managers here:

Window Managers for X

It sounds like you might be interested in a tiling window manager. If so, you might look at your current window manager to see if it can do that for you.

How do I know which is my Window Manager though. when I right click on the bar all I see is a menu that gives me options to manage panels. How do I know which is my window manager?

Thanks in advance,

Gnome uses Metacity by default:

I think KDE still uses Kwin:

If neither of them will do what you want, you can use a different window manager from the Window Managers website posted above.

ion and wmii are popular tiling window managers.
