Forget this. I didn't fix it but only broke it in another way :(.
This way the splitting was working on Windows but it brought back the
old bugs with broken primary selection (might be not that bad on
Windows but still) and wrong mouse cursor on Windows.
I currently have no idea how to fix this properly. I think there are two
possibilities:
- fix Scintilla so that widgets can be reparented
- find out what is causing this weird behaviour on Windows and ideally
fix it

Both possibiliies would require at a first step reporting the problems
to Scintilla resp. GTK.
In the meantime I'd suggest to not use the plugin on Windows. Yes, yet
another limitation for Windows, patches are welcome.
