I just caught this on a linux related newsgroup. This may be of help to
you but I have not verified this information personnally (even though I
use openwin under Linux, I never use the save workspace feature because
it usually never does exactly what you want, on Sun's or PC's alike):

Hi,
"owplaces" calls xtoolplaces, which is missing on Slackware 3.0.
I downloaded my ready-to-use copy from:

ftp.suse.de in /pub/November95/xtoolplaces/
file: xtoolplc.tgz

Regards,
Claus
