I don't think xmonad needs to support that - it doesn't need to save or restore state. KDE does that part.
Actually it does --- KDE can only save and restore state if the client understands the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol and posts a WM_COMMAND in response. It is, however, irrelevant; we should not be remembering that state. We *should* restore it, but don't; see below.
Are you using EwmhDesktops?
Yes. I guess the first question would be, does that protocol support a notion of multiple desktops? If so, can we use it to synchronize the notion of desktop in xmonad and KDE?
I suspect the issue is that, while there seems to be code in EwmhDesktops to support applications requesting workspaces, it doesn't seem to work. Possibly we're not listening for the PropertyNotify that's sent when the current desktop attribute is set on the window. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
