Though i still have doubts about the reasons to change the config file format: "because the current format is not optimal for re-using components with different configuration (for example the configuration is saved only for the first layout window)." Can't we just modify the current format to improve things here ? In fact, i think we shouldn't spend too much time on such stuff, because it is not essential to user. Bug fixing and UI improvements (Vladimir is doing good work about that these times) are much more important for the user IMHO.
