Add support for draggable applets

XMLWordPrintable

      In JavaFX 1.3 it was possible to create draggable applets and control them via the AppletStageExtension. In JavaFX 2.0 this functionality seems to be missing. Other reports mention the AppletStageExtension as well but for other purposes than this.

      Please also provide easier support for changing the window decoration when an applet is dragged out of a web page like in this (non JavaFX) example here:
      http://www.camera66.de/c66contestapplet/c66bildaufkleber.html
      When inside the web page an applet normally does not have a window decoration but as soon as you drag it out of the window the user expects to see a window decoration unless you want to do any fancy stuff yourself. This window decoration must also be re-created when the applet is closed and then launched again via a desktop shortcut for example. For standard Java applets this last feature is also broken and can only be achieved by a terrible hack. It should not be neccessary to do any hacking to achieve something which I would consider the standard behaviour for draggable applets.
