edge resistance or window snapping

I don't want another window manager and I don't want a floating window manager. I like i3 very much. For the last three or so days I have worked hard on configuring every little thing about it. It's the best I've tried, and I tried almost all of them. I wanted edge resistance for pidgin & skype etc.

Allright. Don't know if a patch would be accepted. If so, i am sure the maintainers are not interested enough in this feature to write it themselves.

Maybe two better alternative questions would be: How do you deal with Skype/Pidgin in i3? ;)

A chat workspace could look like this: http://i.imgur.com/7bzl2.png

For skype I have a simple setup that works for me. I give it a dedicated workspace when I use it, and this thing in my config: for_window [class="^Skype"] move right. I manually make the first chat window a vertical split, and manually move the border between the contact list and the other windows.
