We are also inconsistent in the names passed to QObject::setObjectName.
For exmaple, we have things like HistoryDockWidget, Shortcut_Manager,
variable_editor, OctaveTerminal (and TerminalDockWidget!).  What should
these be?  Does changing the name affect anything else?

The object names are directly used in octave_dock_widget for saving the
widgets geometries. If we change names, special care has to be taken in
order to guarantee compatibility to existing setting files.

Yes, that's true as well. The save/recall of settings code is very generic and uses the names of the various dock widget windows (that's the stuff I didn't want within the Variable Editor). I think this is the source of crashing I see when doing development on these windows at launch time, but it corrects itself with a relaunch...not sure.
