I want that :) but twisted a little...

I want to be able to open(or close) a bunch of applications at once by
hitting the "open my image scanning stuff" or "open my faxing stuff"
button.

Where my 'buttons' load/restore a bunch of applications including
position, size _and_ state.

The difference is that you have several sub-sessions open, not effecting
the main enviroment.
