The breaks are known for 0.9.30, where only docking itself is affected.

In the trunk IDE the IDEWindowIntf is so obscure, that I didn't succeed 
in finding clues. Currently the reported default window positions are 
almost Top=10, Left=0, Right=4, the Bottom is typically bigger. Since 
the docked extents are managed by the DockMaster, it looks as if the 
herefore required methods are no more called.
