This enables the following: - add a dock - select a different widget - change some settings - close that dock - add a new dock - new dock has the widget and settings of the one previously closed Previous widget selections are kept on a stack, so this allows "new dock" to undo multiple previous "close" actions. Caveat being that if multiple instances of the same widget were closed, only the most recent one's settings will be kept. This isn't persisted at close, yet.
So, you can switch back and forth between differnet widgets without reverting their settings back to default. This state being kept at the DockManager means most recent settings become available to other docks, which makes "moving" a widget convenient. Still not persisted at application close ;)
So, the features introduced in the previous two patches now have persistent state through multiple runs of the application.

This is great @celeste-sinead, thanks. I think this would nicely complemented with a "reset" button on each settings widget to easily go back to the defaults. |

Overall, the intent is to make it more convenient to switch back and forth between widgets, or to temporarily show and then hide a widget, by not reverting widgets to default settings when doing this. More specifically:
