Well, I just wanted to know if the work was allready done.
Just in case I was missunderstood. I did ask if I could make a dockable
window, belonging to one application, and drop it into another application.
And the dockable window would sit there (not turning into an icon or
something), behaving like a child control, until I grabbed it and pulled it
away.
And the "container" would be notifyed about the docked thing.
Do bonobo provide this functionality, or do I have to write the DnD thing
about the window?
I do believe that the panel behaves a bit like this, right?
( I'm really sorry if I'm asking stupid things, but I havn't been able to
run gnome for several months, so I havn't been able to see for myself.
Hardware problems, and perhaps library problems too, if anyone happened to
be interested... Last time I run Gnome, it did *not* work the way I was
asking for. )
