meh, that sounds ugly.
maybe you can use crash detection to not autoload the preview if
plasmate crashed last time. :)  ..but since plasmate doesn't
auto-restart on crash like plasma does I'm not sure how much effort
that'd take.

+1 :)
that or whatever file(s) were open when the project was closed. but
hte main script is probably where people want to start 99% of the time
