It is a bit difficult to explain, but you can (by clicking and holding) drag any
given window and it will atomatically align it self according to the other
windows and you can then resize it to your liking. Maybe someone can explain it
better than me, but i quite like this was of doing it.

After thinking about it, my second favorite from a practical example is
chesspartner, where you can resize and move around all the different windows,
really quite nice and i suggest you check it out if you are not already familiar
with it.
