docking a form to a screen location

This question pertains to WPF.

In a XAML form, is there a way to cause a window object to dock itself
to a particular location on the screen?

I've been taked to create a "manager" for a larger app that would be
located on the right side of the screen, similar to something like
Yahoo's widget manager. We would also like the ability for it to "slide"
to the right into a tab or out of view wehn it loses focus.

Thanks!
