Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2001-10-10 22:25:50 EDT 
For whatever reason, I always seem to end up with perspectives open in the same 
window (yes I have tried all the different preference settings).  This is bothersome since 
I can't see the information I want at the same time and contexts get lost and forgotten.  
There is no way to "tear off" a perspective into its own window.  

A menu entry or the ability to drag the perspective onto the desktop much like you can do 
with views, would really help in this situation.
