Great idea. In fact I thing it would be easy to implement
since "session" 
concept already exists in KDE:
  ~/.kde/share/config/sessions
so files like them could be used.

Anyway, instead of adding a new window button (too much
probrably) it could 
appear as avanced option when right click over window title.

Regards.

That reminds me of how twm iconified windows, actually.
Seems like an 
intersting idea. The best thing to do with this would be to
(a) file a 
wishlist item in bugs.kde.org for this (b) get a KDe4
development environment 
up and working (c) talk to folk in #kde4-devel and/or
#plasma on irc.kde.org 
to get development pointers (d) try to actually build it.

(a) is certainly necessary
