As tabs tend to open inside wrong windows after some time, it would be helpful to store a preset layout in order to go back if things get messed up.

In menu Window, there is the option to Reset Windows, which fixes this bug. But then all my window customizations are lost.

So – I haven’t figured out how to store my current window configuration. A rather nifty solution (e.g. backing up xml files) is acceptable.
