Tiler Desktop Environment with support for iconified files and dirs

I like to put a lot of my temporary files and directories I am working with on the desktop as icons so I can easily start them by the click of a button. However in gnome I am always manually tiling my windows. Is there any tiler with icon support? Or do you recommend running a tiler inside a more complex desktop environment?

GNOME/XFCE+Xmonad can work pretty well...

Try PyTyle.  It will give you tiling, and you won't have to change anything but a few keyboard shortcuts.

Also look into e17 with the Tiler module.
