But we are not there yet.
My fix shouldn't be necessary as GuiView::restoreLayout() will return
false when the settings for the views are removed due to the
following:
{{{
bool GuiView::restoreLayout() {
[...]
if (!settings.contains(icon_key))
return false;
[...]
}
}}}
If it returns false, initToolbars() will be called and the values get
the original value.
BUT, I have found the following recipe by looking at the sourcecode
1. Modify default.ui,
2. Run LyX (without the patch of course),
3. Modify Preferences,
- Now resetDialogs() calls saveLayout() and restoreLayout(), but
saveLayout doesn't save the toolbar and window setting. Then
restoreLayout restores everything to 0.
4. Close LyX.
- Now, the data in the registry is all 0.
