please be more descriptive. What parts of the UI are you referring to?
What are virtual windows? I'm also using xfwm4 but never heard of such
a thing.

I guess you mean that you want Geany to save its state (window
position & size, last open project, ...) when you quit your Xfce
session while Geany is still open?
If so, I would also like to have this feature. But as far as I know to
get this working we need to use libsm (part of Xorg AFAIK) to handle
session management properly. This would cause another new
dependency which isn't really nice. So, if this would be added, it
needs to be fully optional, also because we don't have this on Windows.
Maybe it could be even done as a plugin, that would be cool.

No idea what you mean, sorry.

Again, be more descriptive please. What does "error file location in
complex file structures" mean?
