When I close emacs down and then invoke it again, I'd like to have the same windows come up, split the same way, with the same buffers/files in each frame and window, and even with the frames in the same location onscreen as they were in the prior session. In short, the current session should be set up exactly like the prior session at the time it was closed. Yes, this is asking quite a bit. So I'll add one more thing. In Linux and other OSs employing X it's possible to have multiple viewports (i.e., desktops) and to place any GUI application into any viewport. So it's possible that all emacs windows might not be all in the same viewport... six emacs frames could be positioned in two, four, or more different viewports. Accurately positioning all of them in the correct viewports would constitute a thorough recreation of the previous session. Thanks.
