It seems to me that first you need to list what you want to communicate
and then decide on the mechanism. If you just want to restore a group of
applications to their previous state, maybe this is what you want:
# The X Session Management Client Side API can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/R6.4/xc/doc/hardc\opy/SM/SMlib.PS.gz
# A document describing details of the protocol can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/R6.4/xc/doc/hardcopy/SM/xsmp.PS.gz
It's an API for starting, stopping, and restarting groups of applications
so that they return to their previous state. I'm not sure how useful it
would be to non-X11 programs, but lets not reinvent the wheel.
