It will fix the reported bugs:
- #69895: selection menu gets not properly positioned on the right side
- #75112: borders in IDEAl mode are not "active"

Unreported bugs:
- dockwigets keep right size when drag&drop
- setSplitterKeepSize will be implemented (right now the KDockSplitter code 
does not implement it - how on earth that? :/)

Maybe it has other positive side effects. I cannot say.
The much more important thing is that it does not introduce new bugs. This 
is the reason why I suggest to backport (if at all) for KDE 3.4.1 and not 
for KDE 3.4.0... one never knows :)


Ah, another side effect, this affects mainly KMDI using apps: right now, if 
you open the left and the right dockwidget in _non-overlap_ mode (square 
button is clicked), and you close the left sidebar, the right sidebar will 
grow (just try it). This is wrong, the sidebars should keep their size.
With the next patch, you can use setSplitterKeepSize and this bug is gone.

Cheers,
