Hi

I've been using Window Maker for quite a while now, and have discovered that
sometimes wmaker seems to crash and restart itself. This is because I keep my
system running and logged in for an indefinite period of time, so eventually
it seems that some program will do something that wmaker does not like, and
therefore the window manager crashes. Window Maker crashing/restarting is not
a big deal though, since once it's back up--everything is just as before.

However--the configuration settings are reset to the last time I started
WindowMaker. I know you can choose "save workspace state" when exiting
WindowMaker, but I would like to perform this action without exiting
WindowMaker (that way, if wmaker crashes, it will restore to the last saved
point). How can I do what the "save workspace state" option does (save the
dock/clip positions, mainly) without exiting/restarting Window Maker?

Thanks
