[Paraview] Save state doesn't save widget layout

I often adjust the data panel to be a reasonably square aspect ratio
before producing screenshots of my data. Consider a data set with 2
different arrays that can be used to color the data. If I setup the
window and set the zoom of the data to how I want it and take a
screenshot with the data colored by Array1, is there a way to really
save the state of everything so that I can open it later, change to
color the data by Array2, and produce another screenshot with the
points in exactly the same positions? Currently the "save state" seems
to just re-open the files I had open, but not put the panels back to
how I had adjusted them.

The result of this is that if I have multiple screenshots of different
things and at a later date I want to change one of them, I have to
reproduce all of them so that they are from the same viewpoint/zoom as
the new one.

This doesn't seem like it would be that uncommon of a thing to want to
do - can anyone share how they handle this? Or is there a "File->Save
layout" or similar somewhere that I am missing?

Thanks,

David
