Description
QWidget::saveGeometry() and QWidget::restoreGeometry() does not work well for QMdi Windows.
This is because restoreGeometry() uses the desktop's geometry to constraint the widgets position and
size. It would be better, to use the parent's (QWorkspace) geometry
if the window is a QWorkspaceChild. The desktop's geometry could be
used, if it is a toplevel widget.
The documentation says saveGeometry() and restoreGeometry()
are only to be used for toplevel widgets. So it is documented behaviour.
But the attached little patch for qwidget.cpp would give this
feature.
