Hiho,
I am looking for a similar thing from compiz/unity/kde for xfce:
The thing where you drag a window to the left and it is shown on the half of the screen or drag it to a corner and it will be sized to a quarter of the screen, etc...
Is there any plugin or way to do this?

There is a compiz plugin called grid, which allows you to press a super key (windows key in my case) and one of the number-pad keys to do almost the same thing. Not quite so easy on a small laptop keyboard where the number-pad is not normally enabled, but works OK on a desktop with fuill keyboard.
It's easier to see than explain, but Winkey+np7 puts the window in top left quarter, Winkey+np8 puts window in top half of screen, etc etc, around all the half and quarter screen sectors. Winkey+np5 fills the screen, but leaves the window unmaximised.

Grid actually allows dragging to the edges for the expected behavior, too, depending on how you have it configured. There's no equivalent for xfwm4, of course.

ctrlwm can do some of this.

Right, I'd forgotten about that. There's also Brightside (http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/set-up-hot-corners-edge-flipping-in.html), which allows for binding wmctrl commands to edges without Compiz.
