I've got more ideas to improve Mosaic (basically making it respect hints,
and allowing users to input their own hints--minimum dimensions, aspect
ratios--either rigid or flexible, maximum dimensions, preferd dimensions,
etc---and make mosaic try to optimize the layout, if necesary refusing to
display all windows, although this last bit should be optional), but not
enough time and wrist-health to work on it.  :(

But you probably could have guessed this...
