In user interface, allow user to get the current window positions and sizes

Often when you run a program, you set the windows up (position and re-sizing) to allow you to see what you want. Every time you re-start the program, you then have to set up all over again.  It would be great if new functions could be added:

# query windows for location and size on screen.
# (we have movewindow), but add resize via code
# Write window states to disk Window name
# Read window states from disk
# Restore windows to state
