[Qt-interest] How to make a QDockWidget behave more like a toplevel widget

[David Boosalis]

Hi Bo.

Yes I tried that hint, it did nothing.  While the dock widget is floating if
you click on any other window on your desktop that is  not its parent widget
the dock widget disappears. If you then click on the parent widget it
reappears.  Have not tried it in 4.7 prerelease.  Can anyone comment as to
whether this behaviour is a bug or a feature ?

Thanks for the suggestion any way.
