The IDE interface already has been tweaked for working better with 
AnchorDocking. But when at the same time EasyDocking doesn't work as it 
should, then this indicates *general* flaws in the IDE layout management 
- *this* is where some more work should be spent!

More problems arise from the Delphi incompatible DragManager and 
DragObjects, which affect all drag-dock operations. Dunno how this is 
managed in an AnchorDocking IDE, because (basic) AnchorDocking has no 
drag-dock functionality.
