How to save layout so it appears when restarting

[Pongo]

I'm used to using XnView on Windows 7, and now I have it on Ubuntu 24.04LTS. In Ubuntu, I'm trying to recreate my layout that I'm so used to in Windows. I saved my layout to layout A. But when I return the left side column gets enlarged with two rows of picture icons instead of just one like in the attached pic. I don't know what setting I have to fix. Any help is greatly appreciated! Another thing I can't figure out is how to get those labels under my tool bar icons.

with 1.9.10?
Labels under icon in toolbar are not supported in XnViewMP

thanks. I thought maybe I was running into differences between Classic and MP. I'm really very pleased with MP though, as there are some new features I like.
