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.
I was thinking of apps that do understand session management. But yes, we should also be able to do a simple re-open for apps that don't, with correctly restored geometry. KWin does that.
I think we're talking at cross purposes. We don't save or restore state for other applications; we *should* save and restore our *own* state: the same screen/workspace state preserved across Cmd-Q but without any windows, as it's the session manager's and restarted applications' jobs to recreate those. -- 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
