Sorry about that.

As I was saying...I have enjoyed wmii in the past, and two add-on
packages offering a similar functionality to wmii tags are
`workgroups'[1] and `elscreen'[2].  These can offer rules-based
configurations that persist across sessions, like wmii tags.  Emacs also
has builtin the `window-configuration-to-register' function, C-x r w,
which you can restore with C-x r j.  This is more for quick context
changes, though, and it doesn't persist easily across sessions.
