The gui parts doesn't know anything about the xml tree and the backend
doesn't know anything about gui state. Long-term, it would be good to
have a framework in place for storing gui specific data in the project
file. For multiuser setups we should make sure that the database backend
is usable instead.

It would be nice to remember state for 1.0 actually, since it's quite
annoying to have to expand/collapse a huge project manually every time
it is opened. Likewise for zoom level and scroll position.

I added a bug for this:

Is anyone interested in taking a look at this?

Regards,
Richard
