Restart and viewport

Description	When restarted, viewport behavior is not ensured. Observed phenomena are: The current viewport changes. Windows appear in random viewports. Full screen windows, and windows of which position is specified by sawfish appear in the new viewport. The cause of the 3rd item is easy to guess. The sawfish matcher simply puts them in the current viewport, without taking viewport into account. It happens under both built-in restart and starting a new process.
