WINE
Wine is an implementation of the Windows 3.x and Win32 APIs on top of X and Unix. Think of Wine as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine provides both a development toolkit (Winelib) for porting Windows sources to Unix and a program loader, allowing unmodified Windows 3.1/95/NT binaries to run under Intel Unixes. Wine works on most popular Intel Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris.
Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-free code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are available. Wine comes with complete sources, documentation and examples and is freely redistributable. (The licensing terms are similar to X11.)

bluetile
BLUETILE(1) BLUETILE(1)
NAME
bluetile - full-featured tiling for the GNOME desktop environment
SYNOPSIS
bluetile [--help] [--version] [--restart]
DESCRIPTION
Bluetile is a tiling window manager designed to integrate with the GNOME desktop environment. It provides both a traditional, stacking
layout mode as well as tiling layouts where windows are arranged to use the entire screen without overlapping. Bluetile tries to make the
tiling paradigm easily accessible to users coming from traditional window managers by drawing on known conventions and providing both mouse
and keyboard access for all features.
o Designed to integrate with the GNOME desktop environment
o Hybrid approach: Stacking window layout & tiling layouts available
o All features accessible from mouse, as well as keyboard
o Maximizing & minimizing windows in all layouts
o Good multihead support
o Proper handling of fullscreen applications
OVERVIEW
To quickly get up and running just start Bluetile from your current window manager/desktop environment (preferably GNOME). Bluetile will
replace the currently running window manager (if the window manager supports this) and start up.
One way to set up Bluetile as your default window manager under GNOME is to make sure that the environment variable WINDOW_MANAGER contains
the path to the Bluetile binary before GNOME starts. This can be achieved by putting something like the following line into ~/.gnomerc:
export WINDOW_MANAGER=bluetile
If you use a packaged version of Bluetile, your distribution might already provide you with a preconfigured xsession.
OPTIONS
--help print help message
--version print the version number
--restart request a running Bluetile process to restart
