	Yeah, I'm really interested in this idea - I wrote it in such a way
that this shouldn't be too hard to do. I (or someone else) justs need to
thing about the behaviour more closely - 

	e.g. how do you attach or de-attach a panel from another ? ... by
dragging it close to another panel or ? ... wouldn't that create the
potential for confusion ?

	Any chance you could mull over how it would work for a while ?

Cheers,
Mark.
