Mixxx 2.0 not remembering "Effects/Samplers" Settings on Launch

[Master VB Guru]

I loaded Mixxx 2.0 and enabled the Samplers panel and disabled the Effects panel.

When I exit Mixxx and re-launch, the Effects panel is enabled and the Samplers panel is not.

It doesn't seem to "remember" my last session settings for these two (2) items.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Mixxx 2.0
2. Move Mixxx 2.0 to your second monitor
3. Maximize the application
4. Click the SAMPLERS button and EFFECTS button to show these two "sections"
5. Exit Mixxx 2.0.
6. Launch Mixxx 2.0 again; maximize the application. The EFFECTS button is not auto-selected and sometimes the SAMPLERS button is not auto-selected, either (i.e. from the previous session).

Does it work if you use Mixxx on your primary monitor?

@mastervbguru: Do you use LateNight skin?
In Deere and Shade it works.
I think it has nothing to with primary/second monitor.
I rather think it's because Sampler/FX are in a SizeAwareStack where they appear multiple times, also in WidgetStacks where either Samplers OR FX Rack are shown.
It seems, when launching Mixxx, ALL possible items in SizeAwareStack are somehow processed and thus reset persistent visibility settings although Configkeys are stored correctly in mixxx.cfg

When I removed all WidgetStacks from this SizeAwareStack (lowerhalf.xml in LateNight) Samplers and FX Rack showed up like when I quit Mixxx.

For my skin, this was bugging me as well, so I experimented a little. Following settings are irrelevant:
* unique naming of items in SizeAwareStack
* order of items in SizeAwareStack
* working <Size> or <SizePolicy> of items
* currentpage="xy" persist="true" of SizeAwareStack (found this in LateNight but not in the skin documentation)
