Unfortunately, this is not really something FVWM can help with these days. While FVWM does have good XSM support, a lot of the other DEs out there seem to have implemented their own idea of how to save the state of open windows, without there being a commonality across DEs and WMs. FVWM used to have FvwmSave and FvwmSaveDesk, but I removed these as they were fundamentally broken. They relied on the application setting WM_COMMAND which only a few applications bothered to set (mostly X11 applications) so that won't work with more recent applications. So all in all, you're better off manually defining applications to start during StartFunction. -- Thomas Adam
