Thanks for all the work you're doing on this.

Havoc, and apparently Sven last GUADEC, were suggesting that we remove 
the requirement for the WM to remember windows, since there's really no 
good way of doing it, and instead give the responsibility to the 
applications, who have more of an idea what they're supposed to be 
doing.  In practice I imagine this would mean the toolkit.  What do you 
think of this as a way forward?

There's a related issue that we're (I'm) in the middle of an 
experimental simplification of the way session files are stored, so I 
don't know how that's going to interact with your patch.
