Sorry, I still cannot find a Layout list in the MainBar :-(
Your MiniIDE has default layouts, because you added them to the menu.
Same can be done by an IDE package that registers a dock master.
A menu entry is different from a ComboBox. Such a visual component can
already be used by the the IDE's SimpleLayout...
For anchordocking the simplelayout is only important, when the user
uninstalls/deactivates anchordocking. That's why simplelayout should
store screen bounds of docked forms.
Not a good idea with notebook-docking :-(
If I understand you correct, you want to use simplelayout in parallel
with your dockmaster, right?
Not really, but GetForm may introduce such a dependency. Why should a
DockMaster guess where to place new forms, when the IDE already
established such defaults?

I've improved TScreen
and ShowForm already, so that my ShowForm will force all forms into the
monitor bounds. [Patch available on demand]
Have you tested this under Linux/gtk2?
No, but it should work when Screen.Monitors returns the true monitor
bounds. More complicated is exclusion of the TaskBar...
AFAIK Screen.Monitors changes when switching to another workspace.
May be, but how does the IDE handle such switching?
[AFAIR at least Ubuntu uses system-wide screen and monitor settings]
IMO such a problem occurs only when an already running application is
assigned to an different or all workspaces. What should an application
do then, provided that it is notified at all?
And it seems the monitor bounds are not always correct from the
beginning, for example when the IDE creates its first window and calls
restore layout. This seems to be a general problem on all widgetsets.
That's why I made the ScreenBounds dynamic: GetScreenBounds determines
the bounds on its first call, at least. This can be done whenever the
screen manager sends a notification of changed screen resolution,
taskbar position, or the like.
