Is there a way to automatically give each window (app) equal space in a KDE desktop, like Tiling in Windows?

KDE does not have the native tiling feature you're after, you may want to look into a tiling window manager like xmonad or ratpoison, or use the built-in workspaces. | |||

Bug 165933 deals with tiling several windows. It's not reimplemented yet in KDE 4. | |||

Not exactly what you are looking for, but a tiling window manager is coming in KDE 4.5, here's a demonstration. An early version is already avaiable if you are brave. | |||

kwin in KDE 4.5+ has native tiling support. | |||

Go to Window Behaviour in your KDE menu. Look around the tabs for the check box that tells KWin to tile your windows. | |||

KDE 4.3 can do this, i'm pretty sure that 4.2 can too At least on my opensuse box. | |||||||||

Yea, right click the desktop, it might be called either olfder view settings if your using folder view or desktop settings if your using a desktop with or without plasma toolbox. (note this is for opensuse 11.1 with KDE 4.3.2, other systems may vary) then in suse at least, wallaper: Type-select image, then go to the picture dropdown, find your picture and lastly go to Positioning and select either Tiled, or Center Tiled, if you select center Tiled I think you also need to fill out the color field too (the color field is below the positioning) but by defaul there a color anyway. Then apply and see how it works. Hope this works, It will vary from OS to OS, so if you don't mind, what OS are you running? | |||||
