Yeah.  I like the idea of having all components be dockable widgets.  
Reference the tetrix example in the Qt 1.40 examples to see what I mean.

For example, say I have a project file list widget, a gui builder widget,
and an editor widget.  If they were all dockable widgets, you would
have the option of docking them into the main framework (the whole
thing being under one window, then) or letting them all have their own
windows.  Both schools of thought are served here.
