I have it in my head that there's a WM which can already do this. I want to
say PekWM, but it's been a while since i looked at it, so I'm probably
wrong. I'm reasonably sure I've seen the functionality implemented
somewhere.

Certainly the QMMP audio-player app sort of 'magnetizes' its subwindows, so
if they're placed next to each other they 'stick' to each other.
