Re: [RP] rpws and sfdump/sfrestore (was: select patch)

[Johannes Altmanninger]

I took the patch from [1] and adapted it to work with the git HEAD.
It works as described in the mail, a usage example is there too [2].
This should fix the issues addressed in the bug and it also is a much
cleaner implementation of workspaces (the user only has to add hooks
that restore and clean frames when switching groups)
