Question: what does kiway have to do with the dialog shim? I pulled out
the shim in my build (since using regularly with different monitor sets
it's really annoying) so I would be nice to know consequences :P

BTW I ripped out the main window sizing too, for the same exact
reason...

*Why* there is a need to save these things? shouldn't that be a window
manager issue?
