How do I setup monitor "gridlines" on Linux? Nvidia has software for Windows that let's you divide your monitor into virtual sub-monitors or set gridlines so that if you maximize a window in that certain section, it only maximizes to that particular area. This is particularly useful on big monitors. Does anyone know of any utilities on Linux that do this or how to configure KDE or Gnome (or I suppose another window manager) to do this?
Examples of "gridline" software:
Nvidia display gridlines

GridMove

Ultramon can also be used to do this on Windows.

So, any ideas for KDE or Gnome?

Second the recommendation for Ion. The default keybindings can be a bit daunting but it's worth the learning curve (and you can use the mouse anyway if you'd prefer).
