I don't claim to be any more advanced than you are, but I must admit I
don't quite understand your question and what you want to do.

To me, dock widgets are just containers that you can move about, but
they don't _do_ anything themselves. Surely you need to place widgets
inside to display stuff and interact with it ?
Then you're back to the classic widget interaction, between the one in
your central widget and the one in your dock widget, no ?

My current project also has a central widget surrounded by a bunch of
dock widgets, but that's only Designer stuff. My code only concerns
itself with the widgets inside those containers, lists and edit lines
& such.
