Created attachment 536614 [details, diff] revert-restoring-geometry-of-dockwidget.patch Reverting the problematic commit is one way to fix this, unless upstream figures out a proper fix. Please test the attached patch.
I noticed that kdevelop, dolphin and digikam are affected by this bug. Very annoying. I will test the attached patch soon.
So I put the patch under /etc/portage/patches/dev-qt/qtwidgets and re-emerged qtwidgets (not qtgui!) and everything seems fine. Tested: kdevelop, dolphin and digikam
