BUG: Option and window settings forgotten #1474
Description
PROBLEM:
When SDRangel is closed and re-opened, some window sizes are altered, plus some device settings are forgotten.
(These issues also occur with saved "Configurations...".)
EXAMPLE ("Satellite Tracker" configuration):
rm -rf ~/.config/f4exb #clean initial conditions
SoapySDRUtil --probe #detect Soapy devices
/opt/install/sdrangel/bin/sdrangel --soapy #start sdrangel
Maximize SDRangel window

SoapySDR[1:0] device window changes:
AGC, Global gain, TUNER gain settings are all reset to OFF or ZERO.
Satellite Tracker window changes:
The window length has extended down and partially covered the Map.
<To see the window size change, click "adjust window to minimum size" to restore original size>
Target: NOAA18 is reset to ISS
Under "Satellite Data", "Next" sorting selection is lost
APT Demodulator R0:1 window changes:
The window length is extended down covering the top part of the Spectrum window.
<To see the window size change, click "adjust window to minimum size" to restore original size>
Map window changes:
The window length is extended down.
<To see the window size change, click "adjust window to minimum size" to restore original size>
Spectrum window changes:
Waterfall scale (left side) has changed
AM Demodulator window changes:
Window size preserved.
All settings preserved.
