Review request for Calligra.


Changes
-------

This time, with the komainwindow etc. changes...


Summary
-------

This patch removes the buggy split-view functionality from KoMainWindow. split-view has a number of problems:

* crashes when removing views
* duplicates the actions so when a view is split you cannot e.g. delete a shape with the delete key
* it is limited in that it can only show views on one document, instead of splitting the view and then making it possible to show several documents side-by-side

After discussion on irc, we felt it was better to let the window manager handle side-by-side views. To that end, a patch to optionally hide dockers if the window loses focus will follow.


This addresses bugs 239309, 265200, 277953, and 278000.
