Worklists are saved on the client side. I don't know if global worklists
are saved in this way. Saving them in the savegame is wrong, since this is
a user preference, and all user preferences should be saved for each user,
not for each game (you usually want the same worklists for many games,
but different users may use same savegame).

I would also like a default starting worklist for new cities. But I would
not want this in the city dialog, since I use the no-popup client options
for new cities, so I never see the city dialog. Rather, put this default
worklist setting in the client options dialog.
