Is it possible to save the current desktop state to a bash file to be launched later?

Asked by jdoklovic in Linux, X-Windows Window Manager, Bourne-Again Shell (bash)

Tags: , , ,

Every time I need to do development on a specifici project, I open eclipse, 4 console windows and firefox.
The console windows have different profiles and are used to stop/start servers and tail log files.

I'm wondering if there's a way to save this configuration (just the open apps and their window positions) to a shell script so when I need to do development, I can just run a script and all the apps are launched in their proper positions.
