[Thunar-dev] multiple thunar instances and session management half-baked

hello

i love thunar and see no option to it. that's why i'm in the need to
convince you that the current way is half-baked.

thunar even works with the old xsm - allowing for even slimmer systems.
this is rare today and great. however, generally, multiple thunar
instances are remembered correctly, it seems. though i found that at
about four instances the latter windows aren't correctly positioned (on
workspaces). however, may be of other reasons. the problem is not the
positioning but that all instances share the same configuration. the
thunar instance configured to look like a spatial view to show only
some starters looks the same like the fully configured thunar for
administrative tasks after a fresh login. this includes sorting, zoom,
etc. 

i please you to save the full state of an instance because otherwise
thunar can't be used to stay open in parallel on multiple workspaces.

many thanks,
dennis heuer
