I changed in the above layout .fdockccWindow to .fdocktreeWin2 and it works.
My guess is that there is something wrong in ccWindow, and I don't know
what.

They don't. They request their own size, but there is some fight here. I
still have some work here ...

Yes. But I am lazy.

I prefer one single file.

Also look at
################################################################################
# In the case of a window closed without the context menu in docked mode,
arrange for the tabs to be cleaned up
# Alternative way : directly call ::docking::cleanup $w when closing window
################################################################################
proc createToplevelFinalize {w} {
if { $::docking::USE_DOCKING } {
bind $w <Destroy> +[ namespace code "::docking::cleanup $w"]
}
}
