 Just put a button on the window with title "tear off", that, when pressed,
will  gtk_widget_ref()  content of current notebook tab, destroy that page
(since content is ref'ed, it would disappear but won't be destoyed), create
window and gtk_container_add() the former tab content. When the window is
closed, do simimlar to things to add a tab to original window.
 Yes, that's not dragging to tear off, but kinda of.
