I used to do that, but I found it more problematic than helpful.  I have
a system monitor (gkrellm) stuck to the side of my screen, but it didn't
help that I could only see it half the time!  I also found the scrolling
around to be a bit disorienting.

Now I find myself just maximizing most of my windows, and switching
between them with Ctrl-Tab (which I've set sawfish up to do).

One thing that I do find useful, though, is multiple desktops, which I
think that almost all modern wm's support.  (TWM is one exception that I
know of, but whether or not it counts as a modern wm ...)
