Tim, Thanks for the response. An add-on is what I was looking for. I downloaded and installed Multimate, however, and it wasn't quite what I was looking for. From what I have read, my understanding of window managers on X is that they provide not only virtual desktops, but the ability to learn and remember the windows associated with an application and their positions between sessions. So when you you start the application again, you do not need to spend time setting everything up to your liking. If virtual desktops are used, some window managers can even remember which one to open an application on. This is particularly useful for applications like Dia and GIMP, which don't use a multiple document interface (MDI) or even a Single Document Interface (SDI); toolbars, documents, palettes et al all have their own windows. Does anyone know of an application for Windows that has some or all of these features?
