Have you looked at Tiling Window Manager?�� It doesn't solve the
problem of windows opening on top of each other, but makes it easy to
position them:

Metacello new
�� �� baseline: 'TilingWindowManager';
�� �� repository: 'github://Pharophile/TilingWindowManager:master/packages';
�� �� load.


If there's another window manager that is similar to i3 or Awesome I'd
love to hear about it. :-)
