xmonad 0.4 has been released. "xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard: a mouse is optional. xmonad is written, configured and extensible in Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, key bindings and other extensions may be written by the user in Haskell, in config files. Window layouts are applied dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled across several physical screens."

Two pixel border, little configuration, no thinking :-)

that's due to the GIMP not knowing how to redraw its windows properly below certain dimensions. xmonad's probably not suitable for image editing anyway.
the orthogonal design of unix has its ups and downs, and this is one of the downsides. interesting design philosophy, though.
