Windowing Solution layout

The panel window.
The panel window let you layout, or group together,  related windows so they appear as one unit. To add a window containing the information you want to a panel window, simply drag and drop the window into the panel window. The dropped window will be docked in the panel window - see the following animated screenshot for an example.
