It's stored (on Linux) in the file ".config/Eric4/eric4.conf" in the users 
home directory. On win32 the stuff is stored in the registry.

That is displayed when a debugging session ends. When you do a run action, 
that dialog doesn't show.

Just installing the snapshot should be enough. However, be aware, that 
installation of a new binary installer will overwrite it.

Not automatically, you have to enable the Shell window via the menu or give 
the toggle shell window action a reasonable keyboard shortcut.
