My terms are a bit different. A dockwidget for me means QDockWidget. The
thing that pops up in the bottom when you press a button is a toolview
over here. Its content is just some widget.

That being said, yes, we're on the same page. Having the possibility to
have 2 widgets displayed in the lower toolview area is something I want
to have as well. I'm not sure wether both widgets would end up in the
same toolview (i.e. just one title+toolview buttons) or you'd get 2
toolviews that sit there side-by-side, i.e. two titles and each having
their own toolview buttons. But thats an implementation detail. Also
this would need drag'n'drop support obviously.
