That's what my original question was. Ah, ok. I do not know X2, is it this one? http://www.tangbu.com/x2main.shtml If yes, then there is one notable things about the application (but correct me if I'm wrong): The X11 application "xx" does not set the X11 window title to the filename of the file that's edited - which makes it an extremly hostile application and difficult to find the filename in a general solution. The terminal application "x" does neither, but you can get the filename from the current instance if you parse the escape-sequence (<ESC>[H, then some chatter and there comes the filename). Anyway, the geometry of each window and the desktop where it runs on can be found like this: for ID in $(xwininfo -all -root|awk '/"X2 Editor Version 2.08.1"/ {print $1}'); do echo $(xprop -id $ID|awk '/_NET_WM_DESKTOP/{print $3}') \ $(xwininfo -id $ID|awk '/geometry/ {print $2}'| tr -c '[0-9]' ' ') \ $(/do/some/black/magic/to/get/filename/from/X2) done > /some/place/to/store Example /some/place/to/store: 2 484 559 58 0 /tmp/a.txt 4 100 100 100 100 /tmp/b.txt To restore each window you basicly do something like this - nota bene: if x2 were a nice application, you would not have to do this trickery to get it's window id: cat /some/place/to/store | while read DESKTOP W H X Y FILE; do A=$(xwininfo -all -root|awk '/X2 Editor Version 2.08.1/ {print $1}') /path/to/xx $FILE & sleep 1 B=$(xwininfo -all -root|awk '/X2 Editor Version 2.08.1/ {print $1}') ID=$(echo $A $B|tr ' ' '\n'|sort|uniq -u) xdotool set_desktop_for_window $ID $DESKTOP xdotool windowsize $ID $W $H xdotool windowmove $ID $X $Y done I hope that get's you started. As I do not know how you use X2 (xx or x ...), I cannot give you a hint how to obtain the filename of a window instance.
