Panel layout manager - aligning multiple panels

The RIA widget libraries such as Yahoo UI are moving towards application functionality...
I was wondering if there are any examples for expanding the current Layout Manager to handle alignment of multiple panels (windows) like you can do in the OS.
One layout function could fx layout the panels side by side left-top to bottom-right, all scaled to the same size, perhaps within some constraint box (fx a grid unit or similar?).

Another layout would be to stack the panels left-top to bottom-right, with each panel adjusted (x pixels) to the right from the underlying panel, and also ensuring each panel header is visible (adjusted down from underlaying panel)

Would also be nice with a feature similar to ALT-TAB, to select a panel.

Just some ideas for 3.x ;)

I might just make a pass at implementing these ideas myself...

I designed LayoutManager to be flexible. The power is in the Unit's, so you can make a new Layout Manager class and have it control the Unit's the way you want..

If you are going to take a run at them, please get a CLA signed so you can contribute the code back to the library:
