I implemented docking windows by creating a tabber in a splitter and adding items to them when they are docked. I'm really pleased with how this is turning out:

The docked element is just recreated, so there is nothing technically new going on, but it feels like a real breakthrough in the UI design.

Looks good Josh!

The only suggestion I would make is if you can get the window frame to be Tool window instead of a dialog window. Would make the window appear to be more part of the back window than perhaps looking like a modal dialog on top.

Good idea and well done.
