Keep DockedPanel open in Sailfish OS

I'm working on tidying up the Y-Radio UI and just discovered the bottomMargin property of ApplicationWindow, nice for keeping something on the bottom always visible even if you are navigating in the pageStack, so perfect for a media player control buttons right ?

Unfortunately the documentation sucks, as the only component that seem to work properly is the DockedPanel as it does some re-parenting. And the DockedPanel as an annoying issue, the user can hide it. For now I'm using the following uglyish workaround:

onOpenChanged: {
 if (open)
   return;
 if (root.currentChannel!==null)
   open=true;
}

Y-Radio update coming soon

Yes, I know, Y-Radio is missing some of the more obscure YLE channels. Development version (and version on openrepos) includes all channels.

Ski vacation and work before and after that (plus being sick) has take most my time, but an update will be pushed to the Harbour soonish. I'd like to get a couple of feature done first.
