Description

It turns out that the lovely new tabbed ribbon at the top of the ChimeraX window has a *tiny* area where clicking and dragging will pick it up and tear it out into a floating widget. I just managed to do it completely by accident, and even knowing that there is a "pick up and drag target" there *somewhere* it's nearly impossible to find it to dock it back in place. I think it would be better to make this widget explicitly non-floatable?

You can also do this by unchecking "Dockable Tool" in the context menu, and this problem also applies to any tool without a toolbar (e.g. Command Line).

The plan here, rather than make such tools perma-docked, is to add a title bar when they are undocked and remove it when they are docked.

Added explicit option to allow tool windows to suppress their title bars, and based on that setting hide/show the title bar when the tool is docked/undocked.
