The windowing UI/UX I wish for is to arrange a bunch of app's windows on my screen, then run some tool that notices what is running, where they all are, and what has input focus, and can save that state to be reinstantiated later.

Think of how live stage theatre does set changes: there are tape marks on the stage floor showing where every object should go, and the crew just puts objects where the crew knows the objects belong, according to the marks. Yes, one could edit multiple fiddly ~/.{X,x}* files with X/Y sizes and positioning in arcane syntaxes. Is there no tool in the Gnome-everse that can handle this?
