--0000000000001fed8b0651cb8c3d Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I have written both an RFC and a whitepaper to define an open additive model for persistent, adaptive virtual desktop workflows (OAVD). It preserves ordinary temporary virtual desktops while allowing users to promote useful workspace arrangements into named stages, record app/window placement as system-created actors, and assemble stages into workflows that adapt to display availability and orientation. The standard is intended for Linux, BSD, and Unix-like desktop environments, especially compositor-controlled environments where final placement authority belongs to the desktop shell, compositor, or window manager rather than to individual applications. I don't want anything other than to discuss this open standard and see if it can help.
