As I said, the ideal solution would be to have detachable panes in the toolbar
-- the same approach that GIMP, Inkscape, and Adobe CS programs take. It'd be
great if you could find someone to work on that.

The compromise that I would suggest, then, if we must have the individual panes
as well as the sidebar, is to put the panes into "View > Floating Panes" (and
remove them from the toolbar).
