under System->Preferences->Personal->Options make sure
you have checked the box for automatically remembering
started applications.
then, set up your workspaces and when you turn off the
machine use System->Shutdown->Shutdown and it should remember
all of your open windows and where they were located.
works for me...
That's not quite what I'm trying to accomplish.
When I shut down the machine for the day I want to exit all apps.
I currently get pretty much that. If an application has modified a file
but not saved it, I'm prompted for instructions.
What I would like would be to have differing sets of applications
available in each workspace.
Currently all workspaces have icons to access *_identical sets_* of
applications.
I wish each workspace to have a set of tools applicable for a specific
project.
For example:
Workspace 1 devoted to programming would have a programmer's text
editor, compile/link/load utilities, and an IDE.
Workspace 2 devoted to a dissertation on Mesopotamian Architecture
would have a word processor, note taking software, an outlining utility,
and a link to a browser to bring up the university's online catalog.
Workspace 3 devoted to a fishing blog would have web authoring tools.
