The design goals of the KDockMainWindow are different from those of a 
palette-like docker for graphics apps. Maybe we should use KDockMainWindow, 
too, once we offer support for projects, for example. I could also see the 
use of KDockMainwindow in Karbon, to show svg errors in a console. But it's 
not the right thing for a small floating palette with tool options or colors.
