Actually it does --- KDE can only save and restore state if the  
client understands the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol and posts a  
WM_COMMAND in response.

It is, however, irrelevant; we should not be remembering that state.   
We *should* restore it, but don't; see below.

I suspect the issue is that, while there seems to be code in  
EwmhDesktops to support applications requesting workspaces, it  
doesn't seem to work.  Possibly we're not listening for the  
PropertyNotify that's sent when the current desktop attribute is set  
on the window.
