You don't need docking windows for child windows to resize automatically.

I think docking windows are one of the dumbest "innovations" to ever occur 
in user interface design.  Windows attach themselves to whatever and then 
you cannot get them back to where they belong without a struggle.  Only 
MS's new dynamically changing menus are a dumber idea.

Best,

Steve
