form editor - default windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When the form editor is opened the palette windows and the properties windows 
should be also opened by default perspective.

Hi, I am not sure I understand here:
- the palette window is part of the form editor, so it really is there as soon 
as the editor opens
- the properties view should open as soon as one of the widgets is selected?

yes, but the first time the form editor is opened the palette is hide. More 
then one person say to me that doesn't find it. Is it possible to have the 
palette opened by default ?

- the properties view should open as soon as one of the widgets is selected?
yes this would be the better think, because if I have the properties windows 
closed is hard to find it in the windows manager. Another way may be to open it 
by a double click on widgets.

Ok, the palette now opens by default. Mind that after that it remembers the 
last configuration. So if the palette is closed, it will not be opened next 
time.

I tried to make it do at every selection, but the delay is bad. I therefore 
added it as menu option in the right-click (Show Properties), after 
unsuccessfully trying to add it as double click.
