Patch for the initial implementation


This patch allows the creation of a detached window through dragging a view outside of the top-level window. Once created other views can be dragged into it as well.

Two cool features exist here:

You can have a whole PSC structure in a DW
Minimizing a stack in a DW will minimize it to the trim of its *owning* top-level window.

There's still work to be done on cleanup (i.e. closing the window hitting the 'x' or dragging the last view out of a DW...)

Patch to re-render the DW's correctly


The calculation of the ui container was wrong (was returning 'null' as the parent widget), leading to DW's being re-rendered as top-level shells rather than using the DW style...

Need to stress test this...

Marking as fixed, we can open new defects if testing finds new issues.
