Any way to link together windows?

It would be really useful to me if I could link two windows together. The child window would retain the relative x and y coordinates of its parent window (and I use this term loosely, since it's not a parent window in the sense of an MDI application, obviously). So it would follow the window around. If the parent is minimized, they both minimize. If the parent is maximized, they both maximize. If I change the workspace of the parent, the child follows it.

So does this already exist anywhere? Is it possible?

I think tabs allow grouping of windows, which seems to be what you want.
AFAIK fluxbox has this feature, and fvwm supports it through a module.

Having tabs and being able to attatch them together, even if they're running completely different applications, is one of the main reasons that I use ion3. It's pretty lightweight but it does everything I need it to do.
