I have no problem with making non-overlapping the default so that only
advanced user can use it.

I don't agree. I have some use cases where it is really helpful:
- open a file in Quanta form the treeview. If you have a small screen, like my
notebook, you need the whole space for the document.
- navigation in the structure tree of Quanta
- open documentation in KDevelop
I think we should not that easily drop introduced features here.
