It seems to have issues with the current Tk/Tcl CVS tree (it works
right with the Fedora Core 2 8.4.6):

bad variable name "exmh(version)": upvar won't create a scalar variable that looks like an array
 element
    while executing
"global $var"
    (procedure "installSed" line 40)
    invoked from within
"installSed"
    (procedure "installPatch" line 5)
    invoked from within
"installPatch"
    invoked from within
".rim.buttons.patch invoke"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]"
    (procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 22)
    invoked from within
"tk::ButtonUp .rim.buttons.patch"
    (command bound to event)

OK, a *first pass* is in there.  Two new buttons on the 'Windows and
Scrolling' Preferences pane.

What works:  Setting the button separates the corresponding piece into
a separate pane.

What doesn't work:  

1) The little diamond resizer is still *quite* wonky,
as it gets confused if an expected section isn't in the main window.
Most unexpected result - changing the number of lines in the FToc
window by moving the resizer in the fdisp/msg window, and leaving dead
space on the bottom of the FToc window..  I've *partly* hacked up
support so you get a resizer on the FToc if the Msg pane isn't there,
but it's not perfect...

2) If you detach *both* the FToc and Msg windows, the main window doesn't
resize itself, but leaves acres of blank space.

3) There's still a few odd geometry issues (sometimes resizing the Ftoc
will result in a separate Msg window suddenly becoming zero pixels wide)
that I need to beat up, and making it remember toplevel geometries..

For right now, the "most workable" config is to use a detached Msg pane,
but leave the FToc where is it - that seems to avoid many of the issues.

If you find something ELSE broken, or have a fix for one of the above,
let me know.. I'll be offline till mondya..
