I missed this feature for some time too, then I've just added two
layouts with master and stack area separated horizontaly: tiledown and
tileup (with the stack area down and up respectively) by adding a third
argument telling whether one wants to separate horizontally or verticaly
to the _tile function in layouts/tile.c. Patch against latest git
version, you will need to have icons
icons/layouts/{tiledown.png,tiledownw.png,tileup.png,tileupw.png} to
compile it without modifications.

Besides making these functions much nicer to use, this fixes a number of
things:
- Clients now don't have to free the returned structures.
- The ScreenInfo allocated by XineramaQueryScreens should be freed with XFree,
not p_delete.
This patch also introduces an abstract Area type that will be very useful.
The big change here is that we now keep our configuration structure in a global
variable called globalconf. This radically simplifies many interfaces, since
passing awesomeconf everywhere is no longer necessary. There are also more
subtle interface effects - now we can reliably identify a screen from just a
screen ID, rather than an awesomeconf, screenid tuple.
Overall, this patch makes most of the interfaces in awesome much nicer to use -
enjoy!
Yes, this is a huge patch, but since a lot of the refactoring was done
systematically using vim macros, splitting this up would have been very hard.
