Thanks for the clarification.

Leo body pane windows can be detached with the Alt-X stickynote

I'm avoiding using plugins while I'm still such a **total noob** (aargh) at 
figuring such basics as to why I'm losing hours' worth of work (OT - later)

If this is difficult to do within Python - I assume because it requires 
poking into underlying OS-platform-specific stuff - then what about letting 
OS-specific "launch wrappers" handle it? Hang on a minute. . .

OK, I've just written an AutoHotKey script to launch Leo that looks for the 
string ".leo" in window titles and if found, pops up "are you sure?" with a 
list of the window titles currently open. Obviously platform-specific, but 
works-around for me for now, and only took 5 minutes, including looking up 
code samples at the AHK web-site. . .

I reckon the Linux people would take less time than that to put together a 
sample script to do the same thing.

I can see where one wouldn't want to pollute the Python-purity with this 
sort of platform-specific kludge, (plug-out's?) but if they're made 
available outside of the main program and are easily adaptable by the 
end-user. . .
