(you can download a tarball there or browse code online)

It also uses my window-tagging contrib module.

This is most of my real config, including the code for frame tagging.

Window tags are stored in window properties (so restarting StumpWM
but keeping X session doesn't wipe them), frame tags are attached to
StumpWM frame objects.

Windows are auto-tagged and sometimes additionally tagged manually.

There are scripts that set up frames and specify groups using special
tags. Q is rebound to only clean splits inside the same frame group; 
bindings are made to populate current frame group with predefined window
sets (specified using tags).

I don't use frame groups spanning monitors; I actually manage a single
FullHD laptop screen as multiple independent monitors (a nice square-ish
area and all the rest).
