Let me clarify:
The code would be maintained the same as the IDE. It could be installed 
by default. (Such as codetools, they are a package, but without them the 
IDE would not be what it is)

In a separate step, existing window management (positioning of the none 
docked windows) could also be extracted to a package. Then the IDE would 
always need a window-manager installed.
Then from the end users view the window manager (docked or not) would be 
part of the IDE. But technically its a package.
