Yes, since we have workspace selection, I use to rearrange dockers and save
different worspaces at initial configuration (one for painting and one for
shape editing),
then when it's done I only switch workspace (well except when there is a
new docker to test, or something unusual like that).

In regards to hiding titlebars: One thing to consider is that several docks<br>
use the titlebar also as the title for the dock, which means that hiding the<br>
titlebar would mean you lose information in the GUI. So hiding titlebars<br>
should probably be done per-docker.<br>
