Pieced together some quick POC code, but I believe it covers the major points. QDockWidgets do not appear to be saving state correctly with QMainWindow::saveState. Results vary with dock resizing, floating, and when not visible. I did not see this behavior in 4.1.4 open source, and tried to put together a quick poc rather then the large amount of code from my project for confirmation.
I am not using MiniGW and am unclear if this is a problem with patches to the open source version, 4.2 changes, my horrid programing, or some change I am missing. The test I ran with the code example was on a WinXP system.

QDockWidget *d1;
QDockWidget *d2;
QDockWidget *d3;

void closeEvent(QCloseEvent *event);
};

addDockWidget(Qt::RightDockWidgetArea, d1);
addDockWidget(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea, d2);
addDockWidget(Qt::TopDockWidgetArea, d3);

}

QSettings settings("poc.ini",QSettings::IniFormat);
settings.beginGroup("session");
restoreState(settings.value("Layout").toByteArray());
QRect rect = settings.value("MainWindowGeometry",
QRect(0, 0, 780, 520)).toRect();
move(rect.topLeft());
resize(rect.size());
settings.endGroup();
}
void MainWindow::writeSettings() {
QSettings settings("poc.ini",QSettings::IniFormat);
settings.beginGroup("session");
settings.setValue("MainWindowGeometry", geometry());
settings.remove("Layout");
settings.setValue("Layout",saveState());
settings.endGroup();
}
void MainWindow::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *event)
{
writeSettings();

Some things you can try are:
1. If you close a dock, and reload it will not remember it is closed.
1a. Now if you had a dock nested in another and closed it, QMAinWindow::saveState will remember it was closed
2. Moving a dock to another position will be remember.
2a.Move a dock to another position and then close another, with 3 dockwidgets can cause all to be reset to default positioning.
3. Float one dock and close another, will cause all 3 to reset to default positioning.
