/**
 * Class LLFloaterSidePanelContainer
 *
 * Provides an interface for all former Side Tray panels.
 *
 * This class helps to make sure that clicking a floater containing the side panel
 * doesn't make transient floaters (e.g. IM windows) hide, so that it's possible to
 * drag an inventory item from My Inventory window to a docked IM window,
 * i.e. share the item (see VWR-22891).
