Add a "Set to Defaults" reset for screen configuration menu option

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.  It's not a problem - rather an enhancement request

2.  The /root/.config/Ostinato.conf file stores the Ostinato Window positions - 
but it's not easy to reset if you've messed up the configuration.

I ran into an issue where the entire lower half of the Ostinato screen was 
completely gone (no port stats, counters...etc).  I'm assuming it was an 
in-advertent window resize (maybe I released the button at the wrong time?) - 
resulting in the bottom section being completely gone.  Since there was no 
bottom section visable, I wasn't able to "pull" it back up to a visible size.  
I tried all sorts of screen resizes, but could never get the display back.

I tried to re-install, but it looks like the "ostinato.conf" file doesn't get 
uninstalled when I removed Ostinato - so the re-installed version had the same 
missing screen.

To fix the issue, I discovered the /root/.config/Ostinato.conf file and removed 
it.  Then, when I started Ostinato, it defaulted to a standard display.

If there was a "Set to Defaults" or "Reset Screen" menu option, that would have 
been a handy way to restore the screen display without having to remove the 
file.

It's not a big deal - now that I know about the Ostinato.conf file - but I 
figure it's a fairly simple thing to implement too.

What version and revision of the product are you using (available in the
About dialog)? I had this issue on version 0.3, but it also applied to version 
0.5 (which I upgraded the system to, but corrupted screen position was still 
there.

On what operating system? Opensuse 11.3 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.

Please add the reset to default configuration working. I have wasted over 2 
hours trying to restore it to defaults. Still, no luck (I am new to the Linux 
environment)

@topgun: If you're still having a problem, delete the ~/.config/Ostinato.conf 
file before starting ostinato

so what do you use on the mac... 
all of the windows in the UI are missing... the application starts up... 
but none of the windows that make up that UI are visible.
did a search for anything called ostinato.conf and didn't find anything.

2 hours in and I still can't reset it.

@cory: On OSX, look for Ostinato.plist in ~/Library/Preferences or 
/Library/Preferences

I deleted the Ostinato.plist in /Library/Preferences but it doesn´t solve the 
issue

Delete Ostinato.Ostinato.plist file as well, if one is present. Also look for 
these files in $HOME/Library/Preferences and delete them.

What OSX version are you using?

I´m using OSX 10.9. I deleted com.yourcompany.Ostinato.plist and 
com.ostinato.Ostinato.plist for the root user and also for my user. I have this 
problem with the root user, with my user I see all windows but I need root user 
to generate traffic. 

Thanks for your help!
