No, I can't.

Well, the relevant code is the using of
KDockMainWindow::readDockConfig() (kdelibs/kdeui/kdockwidget.cpp) in
CKDevelop's constructor (kdevelop-2.0cvs/kdevelop/ckdevelop_init.cpp).

This happens in the constructor: First the constructor creates a lot of
KDockWidgets and docks them to their default position. After that
readDockConfig() is called which reads a saved docksession from
kdeveloprc and redocks all KDockWidgets to the new position.

It seems, such a lot of reparent and whatever events causes event timing
problems in KDE's window manager. On my fast machine (1,2GHz) it works
more often than on other slow machines of Harry and Roland.

Ciao,

P.S.: Using kdelibs (7.May01) it works properly
