No. And it doesn't make much sense to override; saving is needed
for sane restart behaviour that will place the windows where they
were. (Of course, one might use some X root window property too
in this case.) The primary reason for the existence of resign() is 
also being able to quit the WM under a session manager (that supports
remote exit) without shutting down and saving the entire session. 
If one wants a static setup, it's perhaps best to just clean up
files in .xsession.
