Description

Hi, I did not try this software yet (but I will try, thanks for your work), but I think that this is impossible to restore a terminal window after su command? Anyway, for new visitors, I think this is a good to mention in the README.

Side note: I added this to Gentoo GURU https://github.com/gentoo/guru/tree/master/x11-misc/i3-restore

What alternatives have you considered?

It does work with su, if you have it in the configuration (and it is there by default). However, it doesn't restore to the correct window when you have a dynamic terminal title (such as in kitty) because you obviously need to type in a password first for the terminal title to match. I can add this to the Readme as a limitation.

Thanks for adding this to Gentoo Guru!
