Sometimes if you're referring to something it might be easier to have 
the window slightly underneath to the side maybe.  I do this on Windows 
at work, even with dual monitors (old habits die hard).  Is it possible 
to tile windows in Unity?  (I've not upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04, instead I 
moved over to Mint 10 about 5 months ago).
