- "Save Workspace..." is pure evil.
-
- If you run tools remotely, it doesn't save that information, though
- 'xlsclients' (and 'toolplaces'?) can. It strips out conditional stuff, so
- you end up creating different .openwin-init files for color and monochrome
- and do silly hackery in your .xinitrc to use the right one. It doesn't
- like FrameMaker, either.
-
- Punt, and edit your .openwin-init by hand. And just for good measure,
- make it read only! :-)
