The problem is that I can make area switching faster, but it will not resolve 
the fundamental issue.

Area is currently the named set of opened views AND toolviews AND their 
layout.
Workingset is the unnamed set of opened files AND their layout.

Fundamental issue I'm talking about is that workingset should not change the 
area, because it should just open files into the current area. For example, 
opening new file(s) should never affect toolviews. Currently it does.

Actually, I can see the clash between "Area" and "Workingset". Maybe it would 
be good to make areas hold toolview list/layout and workingset hold view 
list/layout. Then we'd have no problem with recreating the central widget with 
another workingset while still having the same area selected.

Yes, that's definitely have to be fixed. If I only knew how :)
