Re: [Sawfish] sawfish save all windows locations then restore them?

This weekend I implemented the first version of a module to provide this feature: save window position by id. When your screen resolution changes, your windows get reposition to where they were.

No need to do anything, except add the (require ') to your rc file.

It seems to be working. Here it is, if anybody would like this feature.

I tried making it a module, but I failed miserably (I could not load it).

I have also uploaded my other sawfish hacking that might be of use to others:

Hi,

Maybe you can add a funktion in
"/usr/share/sawfish/lisp/window-history.jl". I have take a short look
in the file it also have "--window-history-file t"
and you can choose what file you use for your funktion ...
