+Actually, I was aware of [devilspie](http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie), having looked at it some years ago.
+I don't remember why I ditched it back then, possibly because I didn't want to have yet another language to know (or maybe
+it wasn't working properly back then?) ... dunno, but still devilspie solves just the problem of window configuration.

+You retain the fact that you have to place windows by hand (which is the main issue addressed by tiling window managers).
+Also, you retain metacity's joke compositing manager implementation.
