Did you know that you can double click the title bar of the dock widget and it 
would maximize to fill the entire space?

I have never experienced this and it sounds like a bug. However, generally 
speaking, with QDockWidgets i have noticed that if the dock widget's minimum 
size is in someway bigger than the space available for it to dock, it simply 
refuses to dock!

Hmmm... There used to be a "filters" at the bottom of the filesystem dock but no 
longer exists. Maybe it was in KDevelop3 or was it Kate?
