AwesomeWM remember windows on login

Hello!
Does anybody know how to make awesomeWM remember the windows you left open in the last session as to re-open them at login?
If such thing is possible obviously..?

Re: AwesomeWM remember windows on login

To make this really work your applications need to open with the same "state" as before too. I know that KDE has session support in that way, and i guess gnome too.

Here's a very technical explanation:

I don't know if any other session manager supports this (like lxsession). It also has to cooperate with the window manager to know the position of the windows.

I was missing this feature too, when i switched from plasma to awesome. But i got used to it (and it reduces the amount of open windows for me). Still a nice feature i would like to have back.
