;-) Sandy just sent me the whole thread.

Regarding the code duplication of KParts::MainWindow::createGUI : I'm in
favour of duplicating the code ;-) (at least for now, as it is binary
compatible, in contrary to changing the inherittance of
KParts::MainWindow) . But I'm waiting for David's input on this, he's
usually the person making wiser decisions about how to avoid code
duplication :-)


Regarding the KParts::PartManager-eventfilter-on-mainwindow issue:
This might indeed be a problem for a toplevel "dock" window. However the
reason why the partmanager has to be "restricted" on a certain toplevel
widget is the koffice embedding (you can have one koffice document
embedded in two different shells -> you have to treat the activation
separately) .

Well, but I see no problem with changing the toplevel widget check in the
eventfilter to work on a list of widgets (with usually only one entry, but
in case of undocked part widgets with multiple entries) .

I'll take care of adding that. (in case you agree)
