Description

When you replace the root layout of a Window (Panel), all the components in the old layout are moved to the new layout. This is rather undesirable, because it is a somewhat normal case to keep a set of views (managed as layout components) at hand and switch between them. It is unlikely that anyone uses the current behavior for anything, but if it is needed, it is easy to move the components to the new layout.

Change this so that the layout is simply replaced, and do not touch the components in the layouts in any way. Remember to change the API documentation also.

Magi, this change definitely needs a comment in release notes. Might break some old applications, but this is definitely more intuitive way.
