That feature request has been made by John himself. -- as a reminder, before he stopped working on sawfish/librep/rep-gtk

The Window's frame. You have 3 Windows, you get 3 Frames (of course). The idea is, to be able to merge windows together,
into one frame. For example when you use GEdit for editing HTML Code and need an color-picker for getting #xxxxx color-codes,
you would have to switch between both windows all the time, instead you merge the color-picker into GEdit's frame an have both
available in the same frame and can access them at the same time. Or you could get rid of 2+x Windows while using GIMP. This would
also keep the task-list and the window-list clean.
