AFAIK there is no road map or time table for this feature.
I started one using anchors and notebooks, but the 'restore' function is
not yet complete and at the moment I'm working on many other lazarus
parts.
The main problem is, that the IDE has many independent windows plus the
the ones provided by design time packages. These windows are created in
random order, so restoring a dock layout needs some highly sophisticated
algorithms.
Of course one alternative is to limit the possible dock layouts
dramatically. Then a special IDE dock manager could be written much
easier. For example a very simple dock manager could only allow the
message window to be docked right under the source editor, the object
inspector only left of the source editor, ..., and all others not at
all.
