The layout of all docking widgets can be saved using this GdlDockLayout object. It automatically monitors the layout_changed signal of the dock master and stores the position of all widgets in memory after each change.
The layout "dirty" property is set to TRUE
when the widget position in
memory is updated.
To keep an external file in sync with the dock, monitor this "dirty"
property and call gdl_dock_layout_save_to_file when
this changes to TRUE
. Informations are stored in XML format.
