I think what should work is to unmap and map the window. You can do that with
xdotool. Mapping the window causes i3 to remanage it and then swallow it.
There's an open feature request to trigger swallowing upon changes of window
name etc. Once that is implemented you could also just trigger a property
change. It's not implemented yet, though.

Oh! It works when I open konsole / gvim after I have loaded the layout!
What I did was to *move* konsole / gvim from another workspace to the
workspace with layout loaded and the windows do not swallow. Is there
any way to make this work? Thank you!
(P.S.: I tried to really *open* konsole / gvim after I have loaded the
layout many months ago and it did not work. I guess this bug has been
fixed in the new version so it works now.)

Just to make sure, you actually *open* konsole / gvim *after* you'veloaded
the layout, right? Because it won't swallow windows that are alreadythere.

If so, please file a bug on Github and provide a log file (see the
docs on the website).save

The placeholders do appear as expected, but the windows failed to
swallow into the placeholders.
I have intentionally made the swallowing criteria minimal, because
0x5,windows failed to swallow with all the criteria provided, but the
windows still failed to swallow after using minimal criteria.
Version of my i3 is 4.11.
