* Discovered this a few days ago: Will it solve your "proble"--which
seems to be "saving state"; well, maybe, if you play with the code a
little:
;;; perspective.el --- switch between named "perspectives" of the editor
;; Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Nathan Weizenbaum <nex342@gmail.com>
;;
;; Licensed under the same terms as Emacs.
;; Author: Nathan Weizenbaum
;; URL: http://github.com/nex3/perspective-el
;; Version: 1.6
;; Created: 2008-03-05
;; By: Nathan Weizenbaum
;; Keywords: workspace, convenience, frames
;;; Commentary:
;; This package provides tagged workspaces in Emacs, similar to
;; workspaces in windows managers such as Awesome and XMonad (and
;; somewhat similar to multiple desktops in Gnome or Spaces in OS X).
;; perspective.el provides multiple workspaces (or "perspectives") for
;; each Emacs frame. This makes it easy to work on many separate projects
;; without getting lost in all the buffers.
;; Each perspective is composed of a window configuration and a set of
;; buffers. Switching to a perspective activates its window
;; configuration, and when in a perspective only its buffers are
;; available by default.
