nice job! I would center the check-boxes within their column and omit the question mark in the header
Re: Chose which workbeches load at start up [Feature Request]
Excellent !!! I'm wondering if "Autoload" is clear enough : what do you think about "Load at start-up" ?
Re: Chose which workbeches load at start up [Feature Request]
I had the same thought -- I agree that's clearer, but it's also longer. Maybe if I let the label wrap to two lines? I haven't tried it, I don't know what that will look like.

I hope you are asking @kkremitzki -- I certainly don't! That said, I'm sure it would help if a couple of people reviewed the PR on GitHub. I'd love a few testers to build it and make sure it works properly, especially on Linux and Mac.
