Hi,
I use (desktop-save-mode 1) to save all currently opened buffers so that Emacs is opened next time; all buffers are still there to work with. Is there something similar with Emacs' windows? (so that not only the buffers but also the windows will be opened on start, ideally in their old locations)
Cheers,
Marius

Look at:

or

Thanks, Jonathan.
I was hoping for a less intrusive solution. I also saw save-place constructions but that also seemed quite heavy.
I'm still wondering why it does not work with just desktop-save-mode, it specificallys says on http://www.gnu.org/s/libtool/manual/emacs/Saving-Emacs-Sessions.html that the buffers, their file names, major modes, buffer positions,.. are saved. Hmm...
Cheers,
Marius

Also, see http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FrameConfiguration
Especially: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FrameRestorePackage
Disclaimer: Haven't used any of the above myself.

For more frame-/window-specific solutions see
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryWindows, specifically the
"Switching Window Configurations" section. I use Workgroups
(http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WorkgroupsForWindows) and like it quite
a bit: it saves frame/window/buffer configurations, but doesn't save all
my open files unless I ask it to. For me, that's just the right amount
of persistence.

Indeed.
I don't need a complicated window manager, but having three windows open on close, it would be nice to get them back. I found this, when testing new settings in .emacs. I typically restart to make sure it works.
Question: Where to address feature requests to?

M-x report-emacs-bug
That's for reporting bugs and requesting enhancements.

just a brief follow-up: Lennart Borgman answered the feature request ("bug#9985: Feature request: save open windows"):
"... I know there are several elisp libraries that does this. (One of them can be found in nXhtml.)"

from the TODO file (C-h C-t):
> * Important features:
> ...
> ** "Perspectives" are named persistent window configurations
The idea has been around a while, and emacs already knows how to do a
lot of what would be required to provide functionality similar to that
of all the window/workspace managers out there:
`window-configuration-to-register' actually provides most of what one
could wish for, except there's no way to save a "window configuration"
persistently.
(iirc this is actually one of the motivations named by the workgroup
author: window configuration can't be serialized in elisp (?))
Personally I use workgroups, which lets me define persistent named
workspaces each with its own window configuration.
It's a bit sad to see how many people have tried solving this problem
but no solution made it to core emacs. The issue does seem to be shared
by many.
