 It should dock automatically when you move it close to a border of the
 LyX window.

 That doesn't work, at least not in my installation on OS X.

 Hmm It works for me (OS X 10.5, Intel). Are you sure?

Yes, absolutely. I've dragged the View Source window all over the
place. The only way to get it to dock back into the main lyx window on
my installation (OS X 10.4.11 PPC) is to double-click on the title
bar.


 What about toolbars: you should be able to grab them and move them
 around the window -- to the top, bottom, left, and right sides, or
 drag them off the window to be a floating palette. Does that work?

Yes. There is a little do-hickey with dots on the far left (or top,
when vertical) of the toobars. Using that, I can grab and move them
exactly as you have described.

I have a little cross in the top-right of the Outline (navigator), and
there is an icon that looks like a book in the toolbar which you can
press, and you can enter dialog-toggle toc in the command buffer
(View-Toolbars-Command Buffer).

You can assign a shortcut to dialog-toggle toc in the Shortcuts
section of the Preferences dialog. Press New, enter the function I
