Agreed, and these days everything is comprised of these “workspaceControls” rather than dockwidgets - I think that mixin class is out of date already.
Personally I use a pretty ugly hack these days where: - I create a workspaceControl - grab a handle to it using the MQtUtil findControl method - and shove my own qt widget in to the child layout of that control. I’m not sure if this will help with you signal problem, but I suspect it will - its a bit of a “best of both worlds” solution. You can still maintain your pointer to your own widget (without any weird mixin shizzle) and also use the workspaceControl maya.cmds to manage the window state.
