However as I said before, I don't think that it's only GUI objects that can profit from state saving and not all GUI objects in a patch do need their state to be persistent.
I think server side state saving is more flexible than client side (GUI) state saving.
Even in the version of pd that has the most client-side code, all visual properties that are to be saved in a patch, are still stored server-side.
global state saving would be also important for pd to support LASH. with LASH a session could be stored to a file, and restored later. that means: every program will reopen all its open documents, and every document would restore its state
actually a bunch of programs support that (seq24, patchage, vkeybd, muse, meterbridge, dino), would be great to see pd in that list...
and even if it is a complex task, having widgets save their state move one step forward into that direction! ;)
