Would it be possible to have ion take an inventory of the window classes in each
frame when shutting down. Ion could then possibly make this mapping for each
frame, start the previously running programs, and unmap the classes as soon as
the required windows manifested themselves. Or is this not possible?
If I'm understanding it correctly, the answer is yes, but not reliably. I gather applications tend to be very sloppy with their winprops; so you'll find things like applications that give all their windows the same class and instance, and the like. And then there's the problem of distinguishing between multiple instances of the same app --- but then, that might not be so much of a problem. (Half a dozen blank xterms *are* indistinguishable. It doesn't matter which one goes where.)
Hmm.
I have vague memories of some sort of X session management standard. Does anyone know anything about this? Might it be useful?
Because if anyone can find a way of doing this --- well, I wouldn't kill for it, but I'd certainly make mildly offensive remarks for it.
