From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_session_manager, what you are
doing is actually fall into the concept of a X session manager for
i3-wm, it might be better to be called as i3-sm which is short for i3
session manager.
So you are saying it should be a separate project? I disagree. The
support for that needs to be tightly integrated into i3, and defining an
interface for that is more trouble than it’s worth. Furthermore, if you
look at the actual implementation, the only _new_ code (apart from bug
fixes) is the handling of placeholder windows. i3-save-tree is an
external Perl script.
