Bug ID: 488616
Summary: It should not be possible to close a non-closable
floating QDockWidget with keyboard shortcuts
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin

Hi all :-)
This surfaced in Bug #488597.
The problem is that a QDockWidget that is declared as non-closable but as
floatable cannot be closed by clicking an "X" button (it's omitted then), but
one can actually close such a floating dock nevertheless by using a keyboard
shortcut (Alt+F4).
After that, there's no way to re-show that closed dock, as the menu bar's
context menu containing checkboxes for all dock widgets is grayed out (it
becomes enabled when adding docks with the "QDockWidget::DockWidgetClosable"
feature set). The only way to get the dock back is to delete the window state
from the rc file (in case of KGeoTag, as the default dock arrangement will be
restored then).
My understanding is that a QDockWidget that is marked as not closable should
not only not be closable by omitting the "X"/"Close" button, but also an
attempt to close it using keyboard shortcuts should be ignored, to also prevent
it from closing this way.
Cheers, Tobias
