Out of curiousity, how many of you folks out there currently use docked toolboxes? (i.e. extra toolboxes embedded in the document window)
General Q along these lines:
What is wrong with using GTK toolbars, or perhaps some variation? They can dock horiz/vert, can detach and float horiz/vert, and they are always-on-top (to help with what Bulia seems to be shooting for). I could imagine some tweaks (giving them more of a 'window' look when floating (see KDE's version of the same), and allowing them to be 'boxed' instead of simply in a line horiz or vert). Not being a gtkmm coder, it seems to be a sort of 80/20 problem (we have 80% of what we want with 20% of the effort) compared to sort of re-inventing this in a slightly different way....
If you play around with Gnumeric or Konsole you can see what I'm talking about (for those who dont already know)...just make sure that you have the 'detachable toolbars' feature turned on in Gnome (would need to make this Ink-specific I'd think, since its has a significant amount of UI impact)
