KDE has some built in tiling functions now. No where near what the tiling WM's are but you're able to define a layout and snap them into place.

Well that's cool, though for me the advantage of a tiling window manager is how dynamic it is. I can switch desktops, switch windows, resize windows, toggle full screen, change layouts, and move windows all with quick keystrokes or key+mouse combinations. If I had to choose my layout ahead of time I'd be sad, because what I want on my screen and where I want it is constantly changing

Snap them manually into place everytime you boot your machine, this is worsen than stacking! I am using it right now because I haven't set up a #twm on my desktop yet. Its ridiculous.
