This is most probably due to differences in window manager behavior, that Qt tries (hard) to cover. It _might_ also be a bug. I don't know. Anyway, if you use dock widgets the usual way, they _do_ work properly with Linux: #!/usr/bin/python import sys from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) # Window win = QtGui.QMainWindow() win.setWindowTitle("Test") win.resize(400,300) win.show() # Dock dock = QtGui.QDockWidget(win) dock.setAllowedAreas(QtCore.Qt.LeftDockWidgetArea) dock.setGeometry(0,0,400,300) win.addDockWidget(QtCore.Qt.LeftDockWidgetArea, dock) sys.exit(app.exec_()) BTW, yours was movable, too. Just hold Alt down during move. I guess, with a little window flag trickery _after_ undocking, the desired effects could be archived, too.
