Nice.
1) How's the performance hit? Smart placement and snap to window/border
are slowing down kwin *a lot*. I am planning a code optimization session
some times before KDE-2, but I doubt I can gain much.
2) How do you treat overtraining? I wouldn't like my windows start to pop
up on the screen of the neighbour after 2-3 months :-)

Wow! I will have to look at the code. I'm almost sure you don't need more
than three nodes per window. That makes 30-40 nodes most of the time.

Hmmm! Rather dishabilitating.
