Hmm, it seems like it would be possible to create a LayoutClass instance for
something like (WorkspaceId -> Layout Window), which does layout by first
getting the state from the X monad and using the current workspace id to
select the layout to use.  Perhaps I'll take a crack at it, unless someone
thinks this isn't a good idea for some reason.
