		I might be missing something obvious here, but how can you make a perspective window
		move in front of (cover) a detached view window?
		Here is a usability scenario: 
		I have my search results in the Java perspective as a detached window. I want to be able to click
		on a search result and go back to the code, hiding the search results in the background. 
		Currently, the search window stays in the front of the z-order, even if it looses focus.

		Maybe this should be a Workbench Preference option that the user can select.
