I've been using the computers in the Computer Labs a lot recently, what with practicals. In particular, I've been using the ones in the MPhil labs, which run Fedora with (I think) GNOME as the desktop manager.

Back on the Windows 2000 machine at home, I found I missed the nice feature from the lab computers where, when you resize or move windows, the edges of the window snap to the edges of the desktop or the edges of other windows as appropriate. Some programs, like Winamp, have this, but it's definitely not a standard feature of the OS.

A brief search found me a handy utility called allSnap, which I'm using now. It can't manage absolutely all windows (it wisely doesn't attempt to do anything with Winamp, for example, and can't snap Win2K dialog boxes to other windows), but it appears to manage most that you might need.
