I would like to reserve screen space for an application, i.e. prevent other windows from overlapping with it when they open or maximize. Can Compiz do that? and how?

Maybe you could just keep the window always on top (option available after right-clicking the title bar)? – Adam Byrtek May 29 '11 at 16:39
Nope, that's not comparable. Imagine if your gnome-panel was always on top rather than having reserved space. But thanks for the suggestion :) – Benjamin May 29 '11 at 19:25

I found out it isn't possible (Ubuntu 11.04). If that changes in time please let me know so I can edit this post.
