I need a window manager that allows one to save configurations between
sessions. Does anyone know of one?

I tried looking into winring but that doesn't seem to either and I didn't
know if there is a var I can restore using the desktop package. Any help
appreciated - it seems a bit silly to have the ability to create all
sorts of weird and wonderful layouts but not have the ability to
maintain them across sessions so I am assuming I am missing something.

You could try using winsav.el, see http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/DL/elisp/.

Then try some serialize and de-serialize functions for saving. You have 
to go through all frames of course.

I found some simple routines for serializing here:
http://paste.lisp.org/display/39839

If you combine this with desktop.el you may perhaps get what you want.
