The same dialog is used, but it's a different intent. Just like a dialog for
getting a string from the user might be the same for many different uses, but
you don't want it to offer as default the last string entered - if one dialog
was for, say, a username, and another was for the name of a style (yes, I know
we don't ask for that in single-textbox dialogs, it's just an example).

So, this is true if you're opening the dialog for the same purpose (and as the
same kind of dialog). Otherwise there is no such benefit, and it's in fact
detrimental and confusing to do so.

I'd say select the last tab used when it was last launched as a general
"Customize...", and if launched for customizing the menus or customizing the
toolbars, then select that tab.
