This sounds like the Eclipse `Perspective' feature that was discussed
and wanted ~last year. I've done something similar in the past with
X resources, named frames, and hardcoded elisp, so I'd guess that
people will find it useful. (Apologies if this seems obvious; I'm
catching up while on the road).

Thanks again for making this happen!
