There is a command (dump-window-placement-rules file) to dump the
current placemnt to a file for use with
(restore-window-placement-rules file)

Thus, in a nutshell, you have to create the group layout you want by hand,
dump the layout (which contains only the frames you created) with 
(dump-group-to-file file) or (dump-desktop-to-file file) -- the latter
will dump ALL groups, the first one only the current group --

and dump the window placement rules which tell stumpwm which window has
to be placed in which fram with

(dump-window-placement-rules file).

to restore you have to do the reverse:
(restore-from-file my-layout)
(restore-window-placement-rules my placement-rules)
(launch all applications you want)
