there was some talk about window grouping on fvwm mailing list (fvwm.org)
but IIRC it was mostly about tabbed windows, not tiled (which is what I
think you talk about).
then again, maybe some panel could be (ab)used for this, e.g.fvwm panel
can swallow various X apps and you can specify fairly fancy layout of
windows within panel (usually panel is very small, used to run clock or
xload and other apps of that type but you can make it any size you want and
run any apps). not sure how it would work, I never tried to use fvwm panel
in this way...

Anyone know enough about X to know if its possible to make X apps open
thier main window inside a standard sized cabinet (ala Reason).
I'm assuming it would be ok to require the app to be a certian size
and
have explicit support, but I guess it couldn't put
any restrictions on
toolkit.
Other than looking cool, it would actually be a useful way to keep
window
clutter down. Not that we have any 19" lookalike
apps yet, but I guess
we
will do at some point.

Why not add another option to the window manager instead?
(much like "Always on top")
"Add to window group" -> "Audio rack"
Let the window manager keep them with a common width
and split height. Resize and Move all windows together.
- Possible?
