You mean like a tiling wm kind of thing?

That would be kind of cool to implement. I had thought about the best
way to do this, but it is tricky, I'd need to sit down and figure out
the most natural way to combine a floating and tiling wm in this case.
I've wanted to do it for some time, just, I have had no time to do it
yet.

perhaps it would help to think of the desktop as *one large window to content* here..
take e.g. totem and nautilus>'XDG_VIDEOS_DIR', side by side as a use case for your design.
hope this helps..
