“You’ve probably seen the advertisements for Windows 7 and the
tiling windows feature. Believe it or not the very first tiling
window manager was Siemens’s RTL (created in 1988). After that came
a UNIX version called tAP (The Andrew Project) for the X Windowing
System. Fast-forward to now and Microsoft claims to have innovated
a new feature. Soon after that KDE refines the same feature and ads
it into 4.4. Of course 4.4 was still suffering from numerous bugs.
Fast-forward a little bit further into now and you have 4.5 which
squashes tons of bugs and offers an amazing desktop that includes a
bug-free tiling experience!

“And in this article I am going to show you how to enable and
use tiling feature in KDE 4.5. After that, it’s up to you to decide
if this feature helps to make your work more or less
efficient.”
