ok, but apart from when the window becomes very small the
sizeing/resizeing is ok? (it is on my debian unstable with qt 4.5.3)

what you see we not only have for the find/replace dockwidget, but
also for the other dockwidgets, for example the toc one:

i think that for now things are better than they were, moreover this

should also improve things for you (for now)

i now understand what you have, separate find and replace buttons for
each search direction. i think this tailors the ui to less common use
cases, moreover it complicates the ui.

i would suggest to do the following in terms of layout

then the advanced and simple search dialogs are consistent and users
know what to expect. it also conforms to what people are known to
expect from most other applications...
