I wish it was the biggest problem in kmdi....

Hehe :) This can be fixed ;)

The toolview width is saved in the config file. You can just resize it.

This doesn't seem connected to the UI mode/library. It's just "Variable"
column that has fixed width probably.

"float" doesn't exist "by design" untill somebody implements a sane way to
show floated widgets.
"detach" is in works now. It is simple to implement but I'm working on much
improved way of detaching/attaching docks.
