As the OP, I'm calling this closed (not solved). I kind of blew the
subject line. The inquiry evolved to the possibility of saving
window configs in a register in 'register-alist as stored in a
.desktop file.
From further research, it appears to not be possible, as the window
configs are in C code, not elisp. I'm sure that there are other
solutions, which I'll pursue later, but it would be great if that
feature were added. That way the programmer could
preserve/serialize several different window layouts for a large
coding project.
My thanks to Immanuel for his input.
I will be temporarily suspending this email address soon, as I will
be traveling. Should there be any more responses, I can find them
in the archives.
