Description

I miss the sticky windows feature which is that while dragging a window and one of its borders is about say 0.5 cm from another window border or the screen border, it jumps moves to that border and the windows are adjacent.

Snap windows to edges of screen

I submitted the above patch to the mailing list; I hadn't seen this bug at the time. The patch currently snaps windows to the edges of the screen during drag, but does not snap to other windows (yet). There is also currently no way to make it not snap, which may or may not be desired.

Applied the screen edge patch with modifications in r31841. Sorry it took so long, the patch was very well done! I implemented some automatic behavior with timeouts that resolved some TODOs in the patch and made it unnecessary (hopefully) to configure anything. Since the ticket is also about snapping to window borders, I keep it open, since the patch "only" snaps to screen edges. (Nice improvement in itself!)
