I believe following use-case may be quite common:
1. Adjust compiler settings (i.e. debug settings)
2. Close properties and compile.
3. Reopen property dialog to further alter the settings.

Another use-case would be to alter same settings across several projects.

I believe that it would be better if the tools settings tab restored tree selection on restart. Please find suggested implementation attached to this bug.

Looks good to me, pushed to master. Thanks for the patch.

Note that there is another use case (as well as for bug 358829): While creating a new project user can use "Next" button to get "Select Configurations" and edit properties of project being created. I am unsure if it is a good thing or not to reuse selection in there but that use case would be quite uncommon.
