If so, how? There's a function that swaps the current window with the selected one. It fails miserably with dedicated windows, although works with soft-dedicated. The point is that the user may know better how to manipulate the window layout. Random dedicated windows that behave differently from normal windows, without a visual indication that they are different, aren't a good design.
