[Qt-interest] managing client windows in embedded Qt

[linux newbie]

Hi,

(I am using Qt embedded)

In my server process, I created a dockwidget(belwo email) and set the
floating property to "true" and then started another Qt application. I was
expecting that new application will ocupy the screen space below the
dockwidget, but the new application is drawn above the dock widget.

I believe the server process needs to handle the screen space for new
application, if it has dock widget. Is my understanding correct? Please
correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks
