Okay. Thanks. Hmm. The first and second part can be done with the
x-session API, which manages more then just window placement.
For those of you who didn't glance over the API, it lets you setup
callback functions that are called at certain events: session ending,
session starting up, save the session, etc. The content of the functions
is left to the application writer.
The part about managing priorities suggests that an extension of the
x-session API would be required. So maybe a new project is needed, but it
would make sense to see what's been done in this area before.
