I see that when I detach a dock, after closing and reopening it, it comes

Who likes the dock is happy, who dislikes it can be happy, too.
User preference are the magic words here.

I agree. Would be nice (and not very hard) to have this in the session stuff. Any takers?


Other candidates for the docking:
- The find&replace dialog
- The spellchecker dialog

Those two are _very_ user-unfriendly; for example, you often have to move them around to see the text underneath.

Again, it depends if you work with a fully maximized window or not.
Who works with fully maximized windows chooses a dock, who likes a
smaller window chooses a dialog. User preference.

Exactly. That's why QDockWidget is perfect here: it allows both behaviour. That's why I recommnend to convert those dialogs to it.
