* 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 <nex...@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.
