Perhaps I don't fully understand the issues, but wouldn't such a thing be nice for things like MPlayer?
The other day, I happened to play a video through MPlayer, and I noticed (using smartBorders/NoBorders) that there was an ugly border on the left and upper edges, and that it detracted from the cinematic experience. It was otherwise fullscreen and nice, but not as good as it could've been.
Indeed, that's why the requester wanted this. I guess the easy solution is not to float mplayer. I don't know how badly mplayer misbehaves in tiled mode. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University

It works perfectly AFAICT. Just have to use a fullscreen/noBorders layout and hide any gap. /J
