The standard toolbars in Windows (these defined in
comctl32.dll) can't be detached, the dockable toolbars
are definied in MFC library. The HToolkit library uses
its own implementation in order to support dockable
toolbars. The same is true for bitmaped menus. The
standard menus in Windows cannot display bitmaps but
there exists many MFC extension which provides the
this feature (Stingray, Dundas and other toolkits). 
The HToolkit again uses its own implementation.
The GTK toolbars can't be detached but in GNOME if the
top level window is of type GnomeApp then the toolbars
can be docked/detached to/from the window. The
bitmaped menus are natively supported.
