@Invalid() is okay for empty string lists in the settings but one of
Kirill's settings file is empty except for:

[DockWidgets]
TerminalDockWidget_floating_geometry= ...
HistoryDockWidget_floating_geometry= ...
FilesDockWidget_floating_geometry= ...
DocumentationDockWidget_floating_geometry= ...

I guess this file is the one that was written during the test with an
empty settings file. AFAIK the xxxxx_floating_geometry are the only
settings that can be written during startup. The next dock widget would
have been the editor (see dock_widget_list () in main-window.h).

Well, I just see that this would mean the crash occurs when settings the
editor's window properties not when construction the editor ...
