Well, here's a quick stab, for those of you interested. It locates all windows (at least those reported by xlsclients) and starts gathering information about them. Then stores this information in "~/.bbsession". Currently, it get's the workspace and geometry. Gather state won't be difficult, at least not if someone can give me a few pointers (or ideas where to look) regarding the information reported by "xprop".
