[Bf-committers] Since you are already refactoring the UI: Auto-hiding the buttons window.

[car]

Auto pop up are not every ones thing but are useful for a huge screen 
editing. But what I am really pushing for is dock-less window. Just 
drag a tool group to the 3d screen and it becomes a floating window. 
perfect for consetrated tool use like just all modeling tools.
