[bug 760] working directory feature is broken

- as per the bug the layout does not get updated when "Save" button in layout is pressed
- it does get updated if the window is closed by pressing top x close icon.
- on pressing Save, it seems that the prefseditor takes this from current_layout = terminator.describe_layout() and saves it in config
- whereas the current changes are done per key stroke and config is updated
- this patch copies the parameters like directory and command when Save is press and on_layoutrefreshbutton_clicked() is called
- Hence working dir and command are copied when Save is pressed using uuid to match terminals.
- If there is a command registered then the terminal runs the command and exits. so one is not able to see the results.
