Another response mentions the TwoPane layout which I will use for the time being, but I still think that minimising is a feature that does fit with a tiling window manager. What UI do you imagine for this? When windows get minimized, do they get visualized in some xmonad-drawn way? In the dzen? Can multiple windows be minimized, and if so, how does one select which to restore?
(To answer your question: no, I haven't run into that. I have run into the desire to "split" a window frame into multiple tabs.)
Another thought might be to add a flexible layout-chooser in addition to the ring-like one that xmonad has ATM. That would be a good idea, yes. Somewhat related are MultiToggle and ToggleLayouts.
