Please allow docking in the config. Now quit KDE and restart your KDE
session.

- If KMix was in docked state on your last session, it is docked again.
- If KMix was in non-docked state on your last session, it is there as full
   window again.

At least this is what I have programmed.

Nobody contributed support for AWE in. I evaluated the API, but this AWE
support looked very unpromising - the special ioctl()'s were not even
officialy documented.

I decided it is not worth the trouble to learn a interface that would perhaps
vanish soon - and in the whole time I only got one single request.

Now the API has changed, for example SOUND_MIXER_WRITE_ENHANCE
is obsolete and there is some other stuff, for example SOUND_MIXER_PRIVATE1.
Perhaps somebody will contribute support for this.

What is AGC?

Why? It simply does what every application does: It quits, when you
press the "close" button of the window manager.

Yes. But this is conceptually "wrong", IMHO. And what is even more important:
If I am not mistaken every current KDE application behaves like that.
