I was playing with the control panel recently and noticed something strange.
It appears to be constructed from an object tree displayed inside a window.
The "window" can be moved and closed. Most of the time the panel is redrawn
when it is uncovered or selected but sometimes it disappears.
However, the panel can still be displayed when there are four other windows
already on the screen. I thought there was a limit of four windows?
So, how is the control panel displayed and controlled??
Does it use a window?
