I tested the patch and there are some issues left:
- It is still not possible to insert two consecutive symbols because the
panel is closed after every selection, see also
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3839#c1
this is intentional.
- Bug 3840 is not fixed for me. Detaching a panel should be intuitive
and the current implementation is not.
<shrug>this is how qt does it...</shrug>
I takes me 5 minutes until I get it.
but the good thing is that once you get it you get it...

to take a bit of perspective:
the patch does not change behavior wrt the current situation but it
*does* allow you to tear off the menu's
(a so-called pareto improvement: someone benefits without making others
worse off...)
Besides this I miss than the tooltips aren't shown for the math panels.
Tooltips work e.g. for roots, styles, fonts and its subentries are shown
in the status bar but e.g. not for the subentries of the Greek, Arrows
panels.
i know. perhaps you could file a bug...
thanks for testing
