It'd also be nice to have a feature to lock/unlock changes to a file --
i.e. I set things up how I like, and then lock the file such that it saves
it then, and when I log out, it doesn't resave.  This way If I start lots
of xterms up and I log out, I don't get a million extra xterms starting up
when next I log in.
