Alright. Yes, the issue is that some settings and state information is restored
between restarts no matter if a phone UI or a desktop UI is opened. For the
most part this is a good thing, because it means that many settings which are
supposed to be identical for both are actually kept in sync (or rather only
saved once for both). For your use case and this bug report, one would need to
figure out which of the settings should not be kept identical between the two
and then load them separately. This would include stuff like toggling the
panels, whether the toolbar is at the top or bottom, whether the toolbar shows
text next to the icons, and maybe other things.
