Under Qubes 4.0, I've found that Win7 VMs can hibernate (at the guest OS level, of course), though now I am beginning to suspect that was only with a non-templated HVM. Why so difficult for Linux VMs? Hmm...ok... - Significant additional work to support Templating w/ Hibernation, as I alluded to above (e.g. managing additional template disk changesets until hibernated systems that depend on them are thawed and shut down)? - Preferring hypervisor-initiated hibernate for additional security or performance reasons? - More issues?

[qubes-users] session managers for VMs?
Sometimes I need to shut down a qube I'm working in for some reason (changing out sys-net for a specialized sys-net, or closing sensitive material before working in a public place). It would be nice to be able to come back to the same window setup I left, when restarting the qube. dom0 has this kind of session management via xfce. Is it possible to run a session manager in another qube? How would I do this? I know how to start a window manager using exec, but I haven't figured out the X startup files in the VMs yet. Perhaps each vm already has a window manager running? But if so then I still need to enable that wm's session manager. Even better would be to "hibernate" a qube by suspending it to disk, but I know the qubes team has other priorities. I'm hoping per-vm session management is something I could do right now.
