To make this work for me, I've added what I call "workspaces" to Emacs, 
which are just Emacs window configurations loaded from files. I have an 
ever growing startup set (which I even reload fairly frequently to get 
back to a known work environment).

When I was an undergrad, Emacs was considered huge, a burden to the 
multi-user Sun workstations in the computer lab. Today, compared to a 
web browser, Emacs is tight and efficient!
