The problems with the non natural layouts are various, e.g.:

I believe that's not really a problem, see the

The reason for the natural layout is that the other layout sucks. That was
what we shipped with in 4.0 and 4.1. Let's learn from history and don't

One idea could be to use the size differences and placement mean something.
Say that I have five windows open, one that I use constantly and one that keep
checking out every now and then - the placement that would make most
sense then is to make sure that I as a user can quickest focus on the
Maybe another thing that could help in the case of having a ton of windows is
