Maybe a good idea, maybe not. Docking windows are always a bit tricky to 
use.
Splitter windows are the most minimal approach to get all those windows 
arranged, no
headers, no additinal controls. Space is precious on single monitor systems.
The docking layout is hardly usable. But dono what you plan for eric4.

I did, running now 3.8.2.
BTW. There is another option I would like to put on the wishlist.
The popup when running a script, asking for environment. If you are coding
commandline apps its ok, if you are coding libraries its rarely needed.
<x popup environment options on exec> could do the job with an x as 
default.


    Thanks Jürgen
