Hi folks,

I just tested this and it works rather nicely. Unlike the previous
behavior where the user gets absolutely no visual feedback on what is
going to happen, this is a step in the right direction. Additionally I
suggest the merge happened fluently, using a short animation (say 0.5s).
That way you get a better idea what view you're getting. A nanosecond
blit has you wondering if that's really the view you wanted.

Overlaying a close button on the focused frame window may be a more
elegant solution, but I don't consider the arrow counter-intuitive
myself.

But I have a funny incident about window behavior. It didn't happen once
that I have subconsciously used the window manager close shortcut when
trying to close the floating 'N' blender window. If more
window-manager-like functionality gets added, maybe the confirmation
dialog should be brought up in cases like these.

cheers
