What is the proper way to restore the "factory default" window
configuration in the GUI without resetting all the current Qt settings?

My attempt is here:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/e13051d7a472

Does this look like a reasonable solution, or is there some better way
to do it?

Looks reasonable but the cast that already existed in there is so-so. Seems like something that should be a level down, plus it's a QMainWindow and should have a list of QDockWidgets somewhere that is easily accessible, at least one would think that.

+          if (floating)
+            widget->setWindowFlags (Qt::Window);

There is this "setFloating" routine:

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qdockwidget.html#floating-prop

that might be the preferred route (since it exists...what else could it be for?).

This documentation makes it look too simple:

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmainwindow.html#restoreState

Instead of individual QDockWidget restoreGeometry member functions, it uses the QMainWindow restoreGeometry member function.
