Fundamental design issue in my app.

[enjoysmath]

I am working on a bubble.is -like application but for the Qt framework and Python 3.x.

I have two features:
* Restart from pickle (pretty much everything is now pickleable with my lib, including pyqtSignals)
* Restart from scratch (restart from source and don't unpickle any saved session)

So I was working on my app, and I hit 'F4' to go to the main window's source, edited the title statically in the source code, and hit 'F5' to restart. I noticed that the title no longer changed. But this is because I was doing the first method above.

However, if I only restart the whole thing from source code (scratch), then I lose all my widget positions which are stored via pickling.

Therefore what should I do? Should I convert all the widget's pickled members into code statements?
