Sure, on Windows, any pane can be easily dragged anywhere *within* the 
Octave window, just like in Matlab. That's why I figured the OP had 
troubles to get it outside the Octave window - in Octave that isn't so 
obvious to get together.

A return question to you:
Is it (still) really completely impossible on Windows to drag any pane 
outside the Octave window?  (ISTR we discussed this some years ago, 
maybe in some bug report)
