Details

Toolbar positions are currently fixed.  It would be nice to allow a user to be
able to drag a toolbar / menubar by its grippy and drop it either near a window
edge (top, left, right or bottom) and have it attach to that edge without any
changes to the XUL/CSS.  I.e. make them 'dockable'.  See Konqueror for an example.

Note users should also be able to rearrange the order of multiple toolbars in a
single toolbox and place more than one toolbar side-by-side (either horizontally
or vertically depending on the toolbox orientation) using this mechanism.

If dropped nowhere near an edge, or with a modifier key pressed (e.g. Ctrl) the
toolbar should float like a modeless popup.  

The ultimate would be like the .Net behaviour, where dropping a dockable window
directly onto another results in them being stacked like cards - i.e. accessed
like a tabbed panel.  See attached image of Microsoft Visual Studio.Net for an
example.
