Actually, I did think of it and even did it a few times. However, it's not
very convenient, because once you get your working environment organized,
you'd like it to persist in this state. Usually, I only have state-less
windows (gvim's, browser windows, terminals, etc.), but I'm still used to
find them where I last put them.
