Ah, I found a good solution inspired by that forum post. I think one of you (Alex or Alex) showed this to me at some point, actually... In the CompizConfig Settings Manager, at the very bottom under Window Management, the Grid plugin arranges windows with keypad presses; for example, press ctrl+alt+keypad6 to resize the window to the right half of the screen. Of course, on my laptop I have to ctrl+alt+fn+#.

Also I forgot about a semi-hidden feature I noticed long ago! Middle click the maximize button to make the window 100% height; right click to make it 100% width.

Technically there is a way to do this with Compiz, though I can't say I've spent the time to properly set it up (I've wanted to though).

If you're curious what someone else's solution is, look at this post on the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1304261 .

I've seen this done w/ geometry hacks, but not the click-and-drag per say.  You might be able to make a compiz plugin, but for me this works.

Just assign an unused keycombo (ctrl+super+left/right for example if thats unused) to a geometry command that moves the top window to that side.

Other than that I dunno.
