I've found a bug with the i3 save/restore mechanism
In general the save/load works fine (I've tried a number of layouts that work
fine), however I have found a simple configuration that fails to save/load
correctly. I'm not sure yet if this is a problem with i3, or with i3-save-tree.
I opened three windows in a workspace (and then saved using i3-save-tree
--workspace test > /home/ubuntu/.i3/spec)
2 xterms side-by-side in top row
1 emacs in bottom row (I used the mod-shift-k to move emacs down)
Correct Layout (the layout I saved with i3-save-tree)

I then appended using i3-msg (i3-msg "workspace new; append_layout
/home/ubuntu/.i3/spec"
After Append Layout (Incorrect Result)
