Bug#736132: ladish: wmctrl integration to track and reset window locations and sizes, per-studio

[Zenaan Harkness]

Package: ladish
Version: 1+dfsg0-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

When I stop and start my studio (with gladish), I would like ladish to restore my window
locations.

I run alsaplayer, a compressor, two jack_mixer instances (capture and playback volume strips)
and calfjackhost, and sometimes an independent windowed audio meter.

Each time I reboot, or for some reason restart my ladish session, I have to drag all these
windows around to where they "need" to be.

Debian's wmctrl package provides the program wmctrl which may be quite convenient, especially
eg:

wmctrl -d
wmctrl -l

and corresponding options to move windows around given the right window ID as listed.

In the meantime, calfjackhost has provided much organisation of what were 5 windows (with
jalv) into just one window (calfjackhost). But I still have 5 or more windows which need
placing each time I start my studio.

*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
