Thank you all for taking your time to reply!
@Kevin: I've added "layout-configuration-alist" to this var, and indeed, it
saved, but here's what it wrote:
(setq layout-configuration-alist '(("Unprintable entity" "Unprintable
> entity" ("Unprintable entity" . "revive.el")) ("Unprintable entity"
> "Unprintable entity" ("Unprintable entity" . "dot.emacs.el") ("Unprintable
> entity" . "dot.emacs.el"))))
>
"Unprintable entity". Any way I could fix it from the top of your head?
@Pascal: Thanks for the comprehensive answer!
An alternative would be not to try to save EVERYTHING, but only what

Well, you are absolutely right -- actually, the only thing that interests me
is saving and restoring the value of "layout-configuration-alist", so I can
have my buffer-indexed window layouts persisted.
How could I go and write a serialization/deserialization function pair? And
where would I integrate it?
Thanks,
Marcelo.
