#167 Add an option to set the default to "game text" instead of "game list"
As far as I can tell, there is no option to start chessx in a mode where it displays the game text window rather than game list, at bottom right. I have to manually select it every time.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=872513
It would be nice if the selected tab is remembered across sessions.
This is a little bit tricky, especially with the changes in the upcoming release.
After opening a database, the game list is raised as that is probably what most people want after opening a database.
Databases are opened at startup in the background and may (depending on the size) take some time to open. Thus the effect of having the right tab on top is undone by the opening of the startup databases.
There are some more of these effects, e.g. I wanted the analysis widget to use the last book again, but the book might take a time to load or not load at all and thus changes to the active book might take place after the user has selected a book or looked elsewhere...
All this is not as easy as it looks at first sight.

fwiw, i like this idea, too. at the moment, i'm using chessx for a single 960 game. every time i save the game, usually to save variations and comments, the game list is the default view. for a single game, i have zero need to ever display a game list, much less on each save.
thank you for an amazing product. i'll be posting a product request in a few minutes. your work is appreciated :).
again, much thanks!
