Description:
1.) Removal of IDE Options -> Environment -> Windows -> Window Positons.
Why: The desktop features duplicate "Restore window geometry" and "Custom window geometry" settings. The other two settings ("Let windowmanager decide" and "Fixed default geometry") seem useless for me. The options also conflict with Desktop window layout.
Column widths and other window layout settings will be saved through new generic interface.
2.) Moving options that are saved in the desktop into new IDE Options category "Desktop" (within the same IDE Options dialog).
"Environment -> Window" :: "Desktop -> Window"
"Environment -> IDE coolbar" :: "Desktop -> IDE coolbar"
"Environment -> Editor toolbar" :: "Desktop -> Editor toolbar"
"Environment -> AnchorDocking" :: "Desktop -> AnchorDocking"
Why: just to make sure people understand that these settings are saved in the Desktop and change when Desktop is changed and that they are not IDE-wide.
3.) User-configurable options (from IDE Options) will be always auto saved just like all other options are. The "auto save" setting from Desktop Manager will affect only window layout that is not manually configurable.
