I definitely agree. Using the autogenerated dialogs has considerable
drawbacks at the moment. I don't know if these can be overcome with
enhancements to menuform.py or whether this will turn out to be further
reason for custom created dialogs for the few d.* commands.
Maybe the settings for each layer can be saved in some temporary file, which could then also be the basis for saving a session ?
But this would mean enhancing the code generating the dialogs so that it can take into account existing settings...

In fact, the settings for each layer *are* saved. But getting them into the
autogenerated dialogs is the issue.
