I suggest you look at Divvy[1]. Looks like a really nice way of marrying a tilling manager to a non-tilling manager. If it was up to me I would copy Aero Snap when dragging to the edge and would put a windicator for Divvy-clone on the right in the title bar. Pressing the button would produce a Divvy-widget allowing you to tile the window.
