LCL is already capable of this. I've just sent a patch in mantis which
makes this a little better:
http://bugs.freepascal.org/file_download.php?file_id=10889&type=bug
Issue: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15055
However, there are some issues to deal with yet, like activating the
application (bring the other windows to front) and moving between
desktops. Actually it's much easier than I thought, I must have done
something wrong ;-)

All this docking talk is nice and everything, but sometimes I ask if
shouldn't just go SDI for Lazarus IDE. I found it odd at the
beginning, but after using several other SDI IDEs now I can't find
reasoning in Delphi-old MDI...

BTW, back to the "drag windows in gtk2" part of the discussion, I've
just realized gtk has explicit calls for it, it most certainly have
some events/notifications/callbacks too?

Best regards,
Flávio
