I believe the tear-off menus are a built-in feature of GTK+. (Where you
need only specify 'true' for some "This menu can be torn off" property.)
IIRC, letting other things be "tear off" isn't as simple.
I could be wrong. I thankfully haven't had to do much GTK programming
in a while. Googling "GTK tear off windows" finds GtkHandleBox, so it
/might/ be as simple as turning the (vim) tabs into handle boxes.
