Description

I have 4 virtual desktop + external monitor, whenever I start amethyst the layout reverts to tall on each desktop. It would be great if I could specify which layout would be the default one for each desktop :)

Research direction
Investigate how layouts are currently assigned and stored in Amethyst. Look for existing configuration files and how they are parsed. The goal is to add an optional setting for each desktop to specify a default layout. Consider modifying the configuration model and the initialization logic to apply the per desktop layout preference.
