Window layout is something I would like to see saved in a session (at
least optionally).  It has simply not been implemented yet.  I've done
most of the work on session saving in Insight.  However, I only rarely
actually do Insight hacking.  I'd say the session code gets a new
feature about every four months :-(.

Good point.

One idea would be to have a different session list for each target, or
at least somehow annotate each particular session with the target
information.  That way a native debugger could know not to display a
session which was created by a cross debugger.

I believe this sort of change would be very easy to make.  It would
probably be localized entirely within session.tcl.

I wasn't aware we had online help :-(.  Otherwise I would have updated
it.  Where is it kept?  I'd be happy to try to document sessions,
though I can't guarantee that I would get to it in the very near
future.
