Do we really need multiple floating toolboxes? I think the toolbox should be treated as any other dialog, i.e. only exist in a single copy. If a user requests a toolbox for the current window, it's only created if it didn't exist, otherwise it's brought on top. This does not apply to docked toolboxes; these may exist one per document window. I think it's saner and more intuitive that way.
I have a patch that implements this. As a side effect it fixes some callback problems that resulted in crashes and failed asserts when I plugged in my unsinkability code into the toolbox (and quite probably some other problems too). If there are no objections I will commit.
*Please* do so.
One note however, the user will still be able to open multiple copies of ink correct? Is this something we want to look into?

Yeah I'd say commit it and let's try it out and see what we think. Hopefully it won't freak anyone out, but if so, that'll be good feedback. ;-)
