Most of my recent work involving making sure that the size of main window,
the set of available views, and so on, is persisted between KDevelop invocations.
Can you write an example of tests that starts KDevelop several times,
checking position of things?

Next thing I'm planning is to change placement of tool buttons. Testing that is
tricky a bit -- in particular, it would require that the test know the width
of toolview, which is not presently exposed via public (or even private) methods.
I hope you're not proposing to introduce MainWindowPrivatePartsAccessor class
and derive tests from that, do you ;-)
