At the meeting in Berlin and today on IRC Casper and me discussed the=20
tool-options dockers.
Casper is the architect of the feature to have one tool being able to show=
=20
more then one docker.

We agreed that there are some showstoppers in that feature.  We basically=20
have two options; we either finish the feature or we schedule the feature=20
for 2.1.
I looked and found that the biggest user of the feature is the DefaultTool=
=20
docker (since a week or so). The other users can trivially be reworked.

Casper suggested he is going to put his koffice time into fixing those=20
showstoppers and make this feature ready for release.

Here are my showstoppers in dockers usage in a nice email (which is so much=
=20
better to archive then IRC);
a) Splitting the view causes various problems. I've seen two dockers being=
=20
shown (one in an external window). I've seen my window getting very wide.=20
etc. Seems that it reuses a previous config or something like that...
b) Closing a tool docker and switching tools should not re-open the=20
tooldocker.
c) A user set docker size is not honored.  Best seen if you have only two=20
dockers and use the splitter between them. Then switch tools and your sizes=
=20
are forgotten.
d) switching to a tool that has no second docker and then back to the one=20
that has a second docker has the effect that the second docker now is=20
really small. (best seen when floating)
I expected it to keep the size it was before.
e) The translated docker name is used as a key in the map of dockers. This=
=20
seems a bit fragile and also means we can't re-translate a UI.

Keep on rocking people! :)
