Without looking deeper into your code, there's something you should note 
(from the Qt QDockWidget documentation):

[...]
A QDockWidget acts as a wrapper for its child widget, set with 
setWidget(). Custom size hints, minimum and maximum sizes and size 
policies should be implemented in the child widget.
