Window position information is stored in an extended attributes
attached to directories:
/boot> listattr home
File: home
Type Size Name
----------- --------- -------------------------------
'RECT' 16 "_trk/windframe"
Int-32 4 "_trk/windwkspc"
Raw Data 105 "_trk/winddecor"
Raw Data 185 "_trk/columns_le"
Raw Data 53 "_trk/viewstate_le"
363 bytes total in attributes.
You would probably want to maintain a new attribute like those although
it could be a bit weird as this thing is per window and you want
something per window group. Maybe an indexed attribute that tells which
group a window belongs to? Then you can just query for all windows that
are part of a specifc group and set your stuff with that information.
