I'm sure there are people who like the docking feature. ;-)

Sorry about not getting back to you on this.  I've been having a lot of fun 
with KDE 3.1.1 and not being able to compile.  Now that I can compile, I'm 
back to Gideon in pieces.

I have a log I captured while reporducing the condition.  It happens as soon 
as I open, or create a project.  Let me know how I can provide the log, the 
gideonrc, and the backtrace I've collected.  Attachments don't seem to 
survive it on this server.  I'm assuming these files would be useful in 
trouble shooting.  If not, let me know what I can do to provide useful 
information.
