I'm wondering if there's a way to save window configurations across emacs sessions. I know desktop-save is fantastic for preserving buffers and whatnot and the emacs manual demonstrates storing a window configuration into a register but this doesn't persist across sessions.

Of course this doesn't seem like it would be too hard to implement myself...

EmacsWiki is a great resource: EmacsWiki: Session Management

Looks like Windows Mode, or more specifically revive.el, is what you want.

A lot has changed since 2008, and desktop-save-mode now also restores frames across sessions. Emacs 24.4 and higher.

    It restores "frames" (which are windows to everybody but emacs users), not "windows" (which are those internal terminal-split things). – robert Oct 12 '17 at 09:50
