Package: emacs
Version: 24.4
Severity: wishlist

Is there any hope of frameset.el (or Emacs in general) being able to
learn about virtual desktops with multiple workspaces?

I might not have the terminology right. I mean that with eg Xfce, I have
multiple workspaces with different windows on each. I usually have
frames from a single Emacs instance on each workspace. When desktop
restores them, they all get restored onto the current workspace. The
ones that were on different workspaces seem to be restored iconified.
This makes the feature not too useful.

I suspect this might be difficult/impossible, because eg Firefox doesn't
manage it (it behaves the same as Emacs does).

My window manager does store the "workspace name" into the window's
properties (I think it does it mostly so that kill&restart of the
window-manager doesn't lose this info), so the info is accessible
to Emacs.

The freedesktop.org "standards" says that the _NET_WM_DESKTOP property
should hold the "desktop number".  Of course, the window-manager I use
does not follow this "standard" since it allows windows to be in several
workspaces rather than only in one or only in all.
