This is a *minor* usability nit - with two browser windows, without tabcandy, you can drag a tab from one to the other.   When you open tabcandy (tabview?  Panorama?  what do I even call it?)  on both windows, I expected to be able to be able to organize my groups between two windows.   It was actually a surprise when it didn't work, as dragging normal tabs (outside of tabcandy) does work.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two browser windows
2. Go to TabView in each window 
3. Attempt to drag a tab or group from one to the other
Actual Results:  
Tab or group 'catches' on the edge of the window and does not drag.

Expected Results:  
Tab or tabgroup is passed to the other window, the same way as normal tabs are.

It's not a regression of current features so it's pretty minor, but if there's an easy fix it'd be nice since TabView is one of the promoted new features of 4.0.

Unfortunately I don't think it's an easy fix. :(
