Perhaps this needs a clarification: you can put a saved_layout.lua in ~/.ion3/. If one doesn't exist in the session directory (which one can explicitly specify with -session), this one is loaded. If you remove the one in the session directory in .xsession, restarts should work fine, as the state gets saved over restarts. (It's also possible to do some search path mangling in Lua and from the command line, and maybe even set X properties to detect restarts. But it's more kludgy. And the session directory is always the first directory looked into, despite other search path orders, which excludes certain options.) -- Be an early adopter! Beat the herd! Choose Windows today!

No. And it doesn't make much sense to override; saving is needed for sane restart behaviour that will place the windows where they were. (Of course, one might use some X root window property too in this case.) The primary reason for the existence of resign() is also being able to quit the WM under a session manager (that supports remote exit) without shutting down and saving the entire session. If one wants a static setup, it's perhaps best to just clean up files in .xsession. -- "[Fashion] is usually a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months." -- Oscar Wilde "The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion." -- RMS

The session is saved not only on exit but also on restart:
/*EXTL_DOC
* Restart, saving session first.
*/
EXTL_EXPORT
void ioncore_restart()
{
set_other(NULL);
if(smhook!=NULL){
smhook(IONCORE_SM_RESTART);
}else{
ioncore_do_snapshot();
ioncore_do_restart();
}
}
The restart will save the session unless the source code is modified. Or
maybe it can be overriden in Lua?

Disable automatic saving of workspace (frame layout)
Hi. Here: http://www.modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/faq/entries/Saving_layout.html it says: -- How do I save workspace and frame layout? Ion does it automatically for you when you exit it cleanly. -- Can ion be configured not to do this? I would like to read my layout always from saved_layout.lua but not save it automatically on exit. I will save it manually when I want. Thanks Daniel
