I think it would happen more in Krita than in other applications, because we 
have a number of specialized dockers. Though looking at the available video's 
doesn't really substantiate that hunch.

I've cc'ed the kimageshop mailing list, so our core user group can give their 
opinion: how often do you move dockers about?

(There's one occasion where I change the layout of the dockers about a bit, and 
that's the tool option docker which sometimes needs to be higher and sometimes 
can be less high.)
