Desktop Guide doesn't work

The following instructions simply to not work. Such a shame as it sounds like a useful tool. Any suggestions please? :

Ways to arrange windows in your workspace.

You can automatically arrange two windows side by side. Alt + click and drag one window towards the left until the cursor touches the left side of the screen. The left half of the screen becomes highlighted. Unclick, and your window should automatically take up exactly half your screen. Do the same thing for another window, dragging it to the right side.

That's if running the regular (!) Unity, or any other Compiz-based session, where you can enable its "Grid" plugin (in "CompizConfig Settings Manager"; enabled by default in regular Unity).

If running Gnome Shell, you could try this, although it seems like it doesn't support drag & drop like that:

if your using unity or gnome-shell this should just work, although I don't think you have to use the alt-click
