This is a great idea, I wonder why we haven't thought of it before!
There /must/ be a way to do it. Anyone have some thoughts?
Hmm, it seems like it would be possible to create a LayoutClass instance for something like (WorkspaceId -> Layout Window), which does layout by first getting the state from the X monad and using the current workspace id to select the layout to use. Perhaps I'll take a crack at it, unless someone thinks this isn't a good idea for some reason.
I just realized this would cause major problems for serializing layout state! Perhaps a Map from WorkspaceId to Layouts would work -- slightly less flexible, but it would work with serialization/layout preservation across restarts.
Anyone have any comments/thoughts?
