Ah, perfect - that does the job for me. Would be nice to have that in the setup
script, but I think that this is being reworked already, right?

I'd definitely suggest to make it default to "open".

Okay, I'll try to make that work, and make an optional "cookie" value for
InitialSlidersState, yes?

I agree about it maybe being more common for some users. But I disagree on
having that as the default, because it really breaks the user's expectancy.
phpMyadmin has been available for so long a time, so I don't really suggest to
change expected things for clicks that provide no real benefit... :)
