Yes unfortunately it is not that easy, I have tried, I have looked deeply into 
Qt code. It goes very far into the layouting code, which is used by the 
dockers internally, that code is poorly documented (at least from the 
outsider, dunno if there is any documentation internal to Nokia), very 
convoluted you have to track code in many/many different functions. I think the 
problem lies in the fact that the layout code is not fully functional for 
dynamic layouting, and in particular the sizePolicy is ignored during dynamic 
layouting, in attachment I have created a widget with three widgets, the left 
and right widgets are  "expanding" horizontally, the middle one is "minimum", 
when moving the spliter, I would expect the middle widget to stay of constant 
size. So if you know someone who knows the layout code and want to have a look 
feel free to pass along my widget :)

Then of course, we would have to check that when dockers are stacked, the 
correct size policy is used, but I think it is already correct.
