Summary

Currently, when the Desktop Toolbox is hidden, the only way to return to the
containment configuration window is by right-clicking on the desktop. This may
not be obvious or may be difficult for some people sue to age, disability,
hardware, etc.

This patch makes an informational message appear when the user goes to hide the
Desktop Toolbox that explains how to return to the configuration window in the
future. It only appears when the checkbox is currently checked and it is unchecked;
it does not appear when the user visits the Tweaks page when the checkbox is
already unchecked (by then they already know because they've already seen the
message at least once)

Bonus points if we could check for whether user has actually configured a "standard menu" action so we could show a big fat warning that they would lock themselves out now if they did that. Preferably even with a button to auto-assign it back if it is missing.

Yep, I'm working on that too, both here and in the "Mouse Actions" page.
