I'm not following your description of the rest of the mail, I'm getting 
the impression you are solving a lot of problems I have no knowledge of 
existing...
Please tell me why your are doing things.

Why is that relevant for tabbing?

Are you doing all this to make sure a particular docker is shown by 
default? (aka the active tab) I would expect Qt to persist this info.  If 
it doesn't then thats a bug that warrents inspection.

Right, this is the core of the stuff.
Naturally you are reproducing (and fighting!) a lot of code that is 
already in QMainWindow here for the plugins.
I'm not sure which problems you are facing and why you don't *just* have 
the above 3 calls, but I'm sure that if you explain that we can work 
together to make the koffice wide framework handle this more smoothly.

Thanks for digging into this!
