Huh, you are right.  That's been in my version since 2000:

|---
| revision 1.170
| date: 2000/06/11 18:44:00;  author: zappo;  state: Exp;  lines: +26 -2
| Added `speedbar-detatch' so we can have multiple speedbars.
| Fixed `speedbar-trim-words-tag-hierarchy' to work w/ semantic.
|---

and when I look in the Emacs/CVS version, it is not there, but
comments about it are.

In ChangeLog.12 I found this:

|---
|2006-05-30  Nick Roberts  <nickrob@snap.net.nz>
|	    * speedbar.el (speedbar-detach): Delete.
|	    (speedbar-easymenu-definition-trailer): Remove speedbar-detach as
|	    it breaks things.
|	    (speedbar-reconfigure-keymaps): Always add extra items to
|	    pop up menu.
|---


I do know that merging between my version and the Emacs version of
Speedbar is difficult since I can't adopt some of the Emacs.<latest version>
specific changes into my repository.  Perhaps it is time I stopped
supporting Emacs 19, eh?

Anyway, it looks like some merging and bug fixing is required as the
last time I merged from Emacs into my repository, I apparently broke
the detach feature.
