Install.  Run the demo.  This isn't anything more than a proof of concept,
and it's not all that complex.

See what you quoted...

However, I'd be just as happy if an API was developed to deal with these
things in a generic way.  I'm not certain, though, that it's particularly
feasible on anything less than an OS-by-OS basis.  Certainly, *I* think this
sort of thing is dreadfully missing from the Python GUIs I've dealt with
(PythonWin, wxPython, Tkinter).

Well, it's been done before, certainly, but as far as I can tell, I'm the
only one to have bothered posting code.  If the resize/move bugs could be
squashed by someone more skilled in win32 than I, it'd be basically done for
what I'm wanting.  Even with the bugs (which I never encounter since I never
bother undocking the thing) it's proven useful for me.

Thinking of tackling DeskBands soon.  Might be cleaner.
