Here is another more precise one with CLFSWM created with a dedicated
function:

  http://hocwp.free.fr/temp/bizarre-layout.png

--------------------------------------------------
(defun bizarre-layout ()
  "Create frames to have a bizarre layout"
  (when (frame-p *current-child*)
    (add-frame (create-frame :x 0 :y 0 :w 1/3 :h 2/3) *current-child*)
    (add-frame (create-frame :x 1/3 :y 0 :w 2/3 :h 1/3) *current-child*)
    (add-frame (create-frame :x 2/3 :y 1/3 :w 1/3 :h 2/3) *current-child*)
    (add-frame (create-frame :x 0 :y 2/3 :w 2/3 :h 1/3) *current-child*)
    (add-frame (create-frame :x 1/3 :y 1/3 :w 1/3 :h 1/3) *current-child*))
  (leave-second-mode))
--------------------------------------------------

But I don't know what can be the usage of this layout :)

Philippe
