Keep a layout of terminals

Question

Is there a way to "save" a layout of terminals on Ubuntu? Let's say I have 4 Terminals on a workspace that I'd like to save/restore at will, how could I do this?

UPDATE:

• create gnome-terminal desktop entry
• edit the preferences and under "Title and Command" be sure to set "Keep initial title" for "When terminal commands set their own titles"
• use wmctrl (available on universe repo) to control window

Using the above procedure, one can create as many desktop profiles for gnome terminals and control them by "title" using wmtrl -R $title_here.

The profiles are kept under ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles.

Answer 2

if u are still searching for clues:

i use a 2-step approach with my xfce-terminal. first i open the windows

xfce4-terminal --hide-menubar --hide-borders --hide-toolbars -e htop -T hTop

and then move them with wmctrl

wmctrl -r 'hTop' -t 3 wmctrl -r 'hTop' -e 0,927,33,1000,550
