This tool doesn't seem to be maintained any more and has a large
number of restrictions on what an application can be doing. I am also
highly dubious about its ability to handle resources in the X server
like pixmaps etc. The application is also linux only which reduces
it's use to KDE further. It's a nice idea, but I think this sort of
facility is better built at an application level rather than into the
framework - think autosave and session management rather than process
freezing.
