tabifiedDockWidgets(target) seems to preserve the tab order of the other
docks sharing the same tab layout. Although it doesn't really tell you want
is to the left or right of your target.

you want custom context menus for each QDockWidget, then you just need to
implement it in either contextMenuEvent() on the dock widget, or via an
event filter:
aDock.installEventFilter(self)
...
def eventFilter(self, obj, event):
if event.type() == event.ContextMenu and isinstance(obj,
QtGui.QDockWidget):
print "Show menu for", obj.windowTitle()
event.accept()
return True
return False
