Views - auto resize and reopening problem

1. I'm using vldocking, and I setup my initial layout like this.
And that's ok, but when I manualy resize the main window, the proportions don't get respected. I mean, they are respected if you resize a little, but when you resize to minimum, and then maximize, the proportions always become 50% (horizontal and vertical).

2. When reopening a previously closed (HelpView), the layout isn't as defined in vldocking.xml. Is there a way to reopen a view and position it on the place that was specified in dockin xml file?
