For two windows: Run the following script, then click the two windows
(needs wmctrl which is not installed by default).


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/bin/sh

set -- $(xwininfo -root| awk -F '[ :]+' '/ (Width|Height):/ { print $3 }')
width=$1
height=$2

win1=$(xwininfo| awk '/^xwininfo: W/ { print $4 }')
win2=$(xwininfo| awk '/^xwininfo: W/ { print $4 }')

wmctrl -i -r $win1 -e 0,0,0,$((width/2)),$height
wmctrl -i -r $win2 -e 0,$((width/2)),0,$((width/2)),$height
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
