this makes no sense: how can the top dock area and the bottom dock area 
*both* have 75% of the height?

change dock2 to (0.5, 0.25), and dock4 to (0.5, 0.75), and it should 
work correctly (well, it does for me using qt4.7, anyway).

(nb: and don't forget to disable your restoreLayout method before trying :)
