I grabbed xtoolplaces and copied some scripts from a linux distribution
to get the workspace to save. Unfortunately I don't remember where I
picked up the source code. Archie should help.
I use the following script to complete the picture:
putte:~> cat /usr/X11R6/bin/owplaces
#!/bin/sh
if [ -e $HOME/.openwin-init ]; then
cp $HOME/.openwin-init $HOME/.openwin-init.BAK
fi
xtoolplaces -m /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xtoolplaces.applications \
-f $HOME/.openwin-init.TMP
/mark
sed 's/-w/-geom/' $HOME/.openwin-init.TMP > $HOME/.openwin-init
rm $HOME/.openwin-init.TMP
