I have added support for portlet managed modes in the trunk of the portlet container.

It is a feature that allow a portlet mode to be managed by the portlet and is equivalent for the portal a the PortletMode.VIEW mode.

for instance the developer provides

<custom-portlet-mode>
 <description>Creates content for Cut and Paste</description>
 <portlet-mode>clipboard</portlet-mode>
 <portal-managed>false</portal-managed>
</custom-portlet-mode>

What do you think of the inclusion of that in 2.7 ? I don't think it would be at least trivial to add support for that as we do have hardcoding for view/edit/admin/help in a few places (like portal css styling).

More generally how could we support custom window states and modes ? any suggestion ?
