Description

(1) region browser kept docking annoyingly but when I unchecked "dockable" in that window, it made the sequence window also undockable. If I make the sequence window dockable, then the region browser becomes dockable too and messes up my overall window layout by accidentally docking again.

Dockability now tracked on per-window instead of a per-tool basis. However, if you change the dockability of the main tool window, it applies to all child windows.

To support this, the "ui dockable" command added an optional windowName argument, with the window's title as its argument. So the whole scheme does not work well for windows whose title depends on the window contents. It does work for this ticket's "Region Browser" window though.
