Yeah, the current patch is just a global effect. However, I have been
trying to work out exactly where to go with this. The Style this is
probably easy enough, but I was thinking along the lines of window groups.
If it were easy to associate groups of windows (either by direct interaction
on instances, or by type ala Styles) one could move groups of windows.

So in your gimp example you could move your gimp group all at once w/o
interfereing with other windows.
