wxWidgets have the possibility of reparenting with wxAUI, there also also wxMiniFrame or wxCollapsiblePane that coulb be suitable to do this kind of job.

I personally think we should keep attention to avoid the "photoshop" effectwhere users heavvly use keyboard shortcuts because UI is too click-expensive or because floating windows loose focus.
