And I have set desktop-restore-frames to 't'. But that isn't related to my use-case. As of now what desktop-restore-frames does is launches Emacs with the same height and width dimensions apart from loading the same buffers that were open when I closed Emacs. Can I do this (below) with desktop-save-mode? Save window configuration for a project and reload the same window configuration at will, when I switch to that project. Michael pointed at some low-level methods that I can use *or* I can use the packages shared by others. But I still prefer a builtin fascility if that already exist.
