SUMMARY

Instances of the `KFilePlacesView` use hardcoded keys to load and store their state. If an application uses a built-in instance of the `KFilePlacesView` (for example, the sidebar in Gwenview or Dolphin), then this instance and the dialog to open/save files use the same place to store their state (the "KFileDialog Settings" key), so changing the settings of one of them also affects the other. See `KFilePlacesViewPrivate::readConfig()`and `KFilePlacesViewPrivate::writeConfig()`.
