We probably can call Core::initialize() and then delete that core and create 
new one.
Also we might want to call saveArea() and loadArea() manually.

I can think of one way to find the size. You can find widgets by name or by 
class name using QObject::findChildren(), cast to what we need and ask for 
size.
