Original bug description by Jochen:
New views are always opened at the bottom view area, next to the log view. As
most views are designed for a large vertical and small horizontal extend, this
is annoying.
Comment by Sascha:
If there is no suitable placeholder, new views are always opened at the
bottom-right. We could replace the LogView with a placeholder in the default
perspective. This would place new view to the right of the render windows.
