See in doc [1].  An other sample in the doc showing the use of that 
option would be nice.  You can create a ticket for this.

That's currently not fully supported yet since it has never been 
used/tested.  Still, partial work is already done, but it has not been 
tested.  You can try <inwindow>false</inwindow> and call the drawWidget 
function with a loop in your template.xslt [2].

It should (that feature is implemented in code, but has never been tested).

This is an ExtJS limitation [3].  It's already mentionned that all 
properties come from ext.

Also from ExtJS, but you're right it should be added to the doc.  
Please, add to the same ticket as above.  Thanks for the inputs.
