GDL (docking library) would provide this functionality. Best case would be to update gschem to GTK3 and add GDL as a dependency.

GDL also remembers the state of the windows and would address others' complaints in this thread.

Updating to GTK3 is a fairly big ask for one developer. And proposing GTK3 in this list before brought up some opposition.

The main problem is the shortage of developers. It would be interesting to see a 5-whys, fishbone, or why-because analysis on this problem. And, hear others thoughts on potential solutions.
