[PyQt] restoreState not working for QDockWidgets

[Brian Zambrano]

The relevant pieces are basically this...have the main window save state
when it closes.  On startup, the main window passes itself to a QSettings
wrapper where the state should be restored.  The resize works just fine, the
dock widgets states do not work:

class MyMainWindow(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self, etc.):
        # create a few QDockWidgets
        self.hud = HudDockWidget(self)
        # snip
        self.preferences = Preferences(self)

    def closeEvent(self, event):
        self.preferences.save()


class Preferences(QSettings):

    def __init__(self, mainwindow=None):
        QSettings.__init__(self, mainwindow)

        self.__main_window = mainwindow

        # Load some things on startup
        if self.__main_window is not None:
            self.__main_window.resize(self.value('MainWindow/Size',
QVariant(
                        QSize(800, 600))).toSize())

self.__main_window.restoreState(self.value('State').toByteArray())

    def save(self):
        self.setValue('MainWindow/Size',
QVariant(self.__main_window.size()))
        self.setValue('State', QVariant(self.__main_window.saveState()))
        self.sync()


class HudDockWidget(QDockWidget):
    "Dock widget which contains all of the HUD widgets"
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QDockWidget.__init__(self, 'Heads up Display', parent)
