I think this method is only used at present when the user drags a tab  
to another window / a new window.  In that sense, the tab control  
started the action so knows about it...  so the method is probably  
incomplete in not notifying the interface plugin to notify the old  
and new containers that their contents changed, or in that the  
containers aren't noticing this themselves and propagating the change  
to the tab control.  (So it's not your fault that it's not working,  
but you'll likely have to implement that communication to make the   
method complete enough to use in a new context as you want to).

on the other hand, the Consolidate Chats code might indicate how this  
is being handled by some external code which moves chats around.

I don't believe one does, since that's currently always handled  
automatically.  -[AIInterfaceController openChat:] should call your  
new method, passing in the containerId it determines to be appropriate.
