If you are not actually saving and restoring the data from disk in these
functions, I don't see you gain much by it at all. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you propose to have something like

  get_window_info();
  set_window_info();

and connect those to the relevant signals. 

Defining hook functions and attaching those to the window, to me doesn't
sound easier or more convenient than simply connecting to the signals
yourself. I'm probably missing something.

Maybe it's better to really show me what you mean. If you write whatever
you need for xfce4-mixer and that works well, we can put it in the
library.

Sorry if I sound very negative. If you feel it would be a good addition
for the library, there's a good change that I'm wrong. 

Anyone else have an opinion? Surely, I can't be the only one ;-)
