It's based upon `current-window-configuration' and
`set-window-configuration' --- I wasn't quite sure if I should name them
this way or the way you suggest (actually I'd have liked to drop the
slime part alltogether.)

It represents a snapshot of current Emacs' state. So I wouldn't say it's
rather unspecific. Further suggestions besides your
"slime-window-config" would be "slime-emacs-state" or
"slime-state-snapshot."  Anything else? Any favorite?
