The one time I've used this application was to debug a plasmoid that
was ignoring saved settings. I thought it was awesome that it would
keep settings for the plasmoids you were testing. I can think of a
couple more dev cases were you want to keep the settings (e.g. when
debugging access to a service and you already store the credentials)
so I really appreciate you kept the old behavior at hand with the flag
- regardless if it's default behavior or not.
