Change the follow block in grid():
+ /* grid dimensions */
+ for(rows = 0; rows <= n/2; rows++)
+ if(rows*rows >= n)
+ break;
+ cols = (rows && (rows - 1) * rows >= n) ? rows - 1 : rows;

Where it says 'rows', it should say 'cols', and vice versa. But
really, this also sucks if you have 100 windows, as it forces a 10x10
grid regardless of screen dimensions. Something like:
        k = some constant, maybe mfact?
        rows = (int) floor(sqrt(n * k));
        cols = (int) ceil((double) n / rows);
is both cleaner and more general, IMHO.
