And this is really the only reasonable way of doing it, as Havoc says
in the 'excruciating details' mail.

If applications want their windows restored, they should restore
them. The two alternatives:

- The window manager should guess, based on title and window type,
  what a new window might have been in a previous life and attempt to
  position it accordingly.

- We should have complicated system through which applications can ask
  to be saved, which will then pass special command line arguments to
  applications when they are started. (Aka xsmp).

are both obviously broken.
