Indeed, most of the people do the same task every day, with the same
programs eg. check email, work on a text document, and browse on internet.
Manual resizing is most of the time not needed. So a more active window
manager would help a lot. A nice example is winamp (so xmms too): the
player, playlist and equalizer windows tend to stick together. You can
seperate them but they like to be attached to each other. Most of the time
you want those windows to be together,so it's a usefull feature of winamp.
A window manager can do someting like that too. Automaticly arrange you
'windows'. 
But you got to have the freedom to make some manual (special) arrangement
(like we do now all the time). Although you almost never need this.

I think it would be usefull if you start a program, the window manager
organizes the main windows of the running applications. But not the
heavily, and it should remember previous manual adjustments. 
So maybe not really exit windows but just 'exit resize. move, resize,
resize...'
